RIP Bunny
Michelle Callanan (Bunton)
14/6/1974 - 26/12/2008

I have built this site to help communicate the most often question I am asked, "How is Bunny?"

I can't help the doctors but I can build websites.  Hopefully this site won't be just one way traffic as I will setup the site to allow you to post messages and respond.

The bad news is that Bunny's breast cancer returned in an agressive manner.  She started chemo but she passed away peacefully on the 26th December 2008 after a brave fight.

If you don't already know I am sorry you are finding out via a webpage.

Post a message to Bunny and register with the site I will add more stuff as I can.

Email any queries to tellme@howisbunny.com or contact me.

Thanks to all those who have offered themselves and prayers they are very much appreciated.

Goodbye my lover

Sean

Bunny thanks you for the support.

3 years ago...

By Sean on 18/11/2009 8:56 PM

It's been a while since I blogged here, I know this may not be read but it needs to be written.

3 years ago I had one of the best days of my life when I married Bunny. I don't remember nerves because I remember the peace, the laughter and yes the waiting... thanks U2. Parts of this year have been tough & challenging but I'm also lucky & grateful for the year I've had. I still think of Bun often, I miss her but I know she's happy.

I know the next month will be filled with memories of late last year, I won't avoid it, I can't. Remember this is still HowIsBunny not HowIsSean... I'm doing OK, sure it's not all great all the time but the "smiler" is in front of the "frowner" as a good friend of mine would say.

To the people who are keeping me smiling, thanks, especially you sweetness.

As Bun would say to all of you, "Bless ya"

Bun & Birthdays

By Sean on 7/05/2009 3:29 PM

Reflecting on things especially at this time of year makes me remember the effort Bun went to for others.  Especially at birthdays, she loved everything about them.  Bun would never describe herself as a thinker but rest assured for the 11 months preceding anyone's birthday she was always thinking about it.  Our "magic" wardrobe was always full of presents with mental notes on all of them.  We all know how hard she was to buy for which she did finally admit to me after several years of explaining that her generousity was so much that is was not normal.  Bless her, we wouldn't have her any other way.

So as one of her best mates Lish had her birthday this week and another Melissa waits for the stork to arrive and turn a year older we all know that Bun is still with us ... Read More »

Bunny the Inflater

By Sean on 12/04/2009 10:31 PM

Just got home from Adam Hills show, it was filled with plenty of laughs but the show had a heavy message for me at least. The shows title is Inflatable and is dedicated to some friends Adam Hills recently lost. He described his friends as Inflaters, people who lift people up and we all have the ability to inflate or deflate others. His story about his friend even included them wearing Bunny ears. It doesn't take much but how can you not think of Bunny with a story like that...

She was definitely an Inflater and continues to inflate those who knew her.

You don't often leave a comedy show and cry on the drive home, I miss you Babe, but I am so happy you inflated my life.

Thanks to our creative team of Larry, Laz & Hilario for terrific work on the booklet for the service.  I'm glad we went with an 8 page booklet as anything less would have been useless as a fan.

Also Larry also produced an extended mix booklet which included everything this website has.

Sean Hi Sean, Like so many others, no doubt, the question 'How Is Bunny?' has been floating in my mind since I heard from your Mum and Dad that her condition was deteoriating. I was not fortunate enough to know Bunny but I shared your joy with her through your Mum & Dad. I am deeply saddened today to finally check your website to find that Bunny lost her fight for life in December. My thoughts are with you and your family. Sincerely, Lyn McGillivray (Hermon) Submitted By: Lyn McGillivray

I believe a time of loss can be a time of learning unlike any other, and that it can teach some of life’s most valuable lessons: In the act of loving, there is something to be found. In the act of letting go, there is something to be grasped. In the act of saying “goodbye” there is a “hello” to be heard. For I believe living with loss is about beginnings as well as endings. And grieving is a matter of life more than death. And growing is a matter of mind and heart and soul more than of body. And loving is a matter of eternity more than of time. Finally, I believe in the promising paradoxes of loss: In the midst of darkness, there can come a great Light. At the bottom of despair, there can appear a great Hope. And deep within loneliness, there can dwell a great Love. I believe these things because others have shown the way- others who have lost and then have grown through their losing, others who have suffered and then found new meaning. So I am not alone: I am accompani

Hi Sean, found this in a book I was browsing. I hope it helps to bring you some gentle comfort and to remind you that you are not alone-we are all walking with you. Love mairs xox An Affirmation for Those Who Have Lost I believe there is no denying it: it hurts to lose. It hurts to lose a cherished relationship with another, or a significant part of one’s own self. It can hurt to lose that which has united one to the past, or that which has beckoned one into the future. It is painful to feel diminished or abandoned, to be left behind or left alone. Yet I believe there is more to losing than just the hurt and the pain. For there are other experiences that loss can call forth. I believe that courage often appears, however quietly it is expressed, however easily it goes unnoticed by others: the courage to be strong enough to surrender, the fortitude to be firm enough to be flexible, the bravery to go where one has not gone before. I believe a time of loss can be a time o

Roses Hi Sean Not sure if the picture of the rose is one of the Roses Roger & I gave to Bunny The name of the plant was Golden Bunny and we thought that the roses would reflect who Bunny is Golden beautiful and give great enjoyment and don't smell too bad either. Sean I hope you and the kids are coping OK it's never easy and nothing really takes the hurt away. Our ongoing thoughts are with you and I thank God that we have had the pleasure of knowing and loving Bunny... Bless Submitted By: Karen Ryan

Rest in Peace Bunny I have just learnt the sad news of Bunny's passing and wanted to pass on my condolences to her family. I have not seen Michelle since her 21st birthday, but remember with great fondness, being her classmate in year 7 to sitting next to her in Year 12 geography at Parkwood. My school time memories are ones of an extremely funny and cool girl who looked after her friends. Rest in peace Michelle. Mark Bartlett Submitted By: Mark Bartlett

Not here but not gone... Melissa and I went to the movies the other night, boy, what a sad movie.. though we could have seen the funniest film ever and we still would have ended up with soggy faces! This was our first trip out without our friend, we thought.... but after having dinner Melissa and i went up to the counter to pay and as i handed over payment the beautiful fragrance of gardenia wafted up and as i looked down , there on the counter was a single gardenia in a glass. Hope you enjoyed the film Pookie, your pick next time xxxx Submitted By: Celestine
