A Quick Read: Things have been a bit tough lately. But I'm still smiling!

I'm sorry I haven't been able to post on note for the past few weeks.
This is a completely personal story, but I'd like to write about what's been happening lately.

I am 20 years old now, and I have been living with a rabbit for over 10 years, ever since I was in the fourth grade of elementary school. Since I was the one who asked my parents if I could have one, I have been the one taking care of her for the past 10 years.

My rabbit's health hasn't been very good since around the end of March.
Given her age, it's natural for her kidney and heart levels to worsen without the help of medication, and I was somewhat prepared for that.

However, because the deterioration of those levels was discovered suddenly, and because her immune system weakened as a result, leading to various symptoms, she now requires support with eating and hydration. I've been in a situation where I can only leave her side for about two hours a day.

There were moments when I had to prepare for the worst, but now we've managed to reach a point where she might be able to stabilize with one more push.
If her condition improves beyond her kidneys and heart, it seems she will be able to stay by my side while managing with medication, much like a human taking blood pressure medicine.

That said, since I've been with her constantly during this time, I'll be honest—I'm a little tired, haha.
But since she's the one going through the hardest time, I'll do my best with her until the very end!

I've thought a lot about what is best for her and what would make her most comfortable.
Even so, when I see her crawl into my futon or look at me with a smile, I think, 'I really want to keep doing my best with her.'

Sorry for such a personal story, haha.
I want to stay as positive and smiling as possible, so I'd be happy if you didn't take this too heavily!

Although it will be less frequent than usual, I will try to keep updating note and my social media, so I would be happy if you could continue to check in as always!

Thank you for reading until the end!
