I have this... issue. I was wondering if there are others who deal with this? I've had memory problems in some areas since I got my ME at 13, and I got my first bunnies in my teens after that, so all my memories I have of my bunnies since then, they've been affected by my memory issues. I lost Tom 8 years ago, and while I remember the worst of his health problems, especially at the end of his life, I wouldn't be able to tell you what kind of bunny he was... I don't remember anything about what he was like. I don't remember if he liked being petted, or if he binkied a lot, or what he liked to eat and what he liked to do. I don't remember the kind of relationship we had, or really have any memories of us spending time together. I loved him so much, but I don't remember any of the important things, like the things that made him who he was, and that makes me so sad. Looking at photos helps me remember some things, but not much. It's like that with all the bunnies I've shared my life with since my teens. I just... don't have the memories. I feel awful about it, even though I know it's not something I have any control over. I know it's going to be the same someday with Sophie and Casper, that I won't remember them, and that feels absolutely terrible. I really don't want to forget them, but I know I will, and it just breaks my heart knowing that.
