Babe the Lifeless Bunny
He was born on February 28, 2016. He was the weakest in the bunch. He was born with something called Congenital Hydrocephalus, which is fluid on the brain. The Article, Hydrocephalus, says "Congenital hydrocephalus means a baby is born with the condition.

Sadness, anger, frustration and even exhaustion are all normal". This gives an example of what I went through with this tragic event. As Queen Elizabeth II says, "Grief is the price
