you have brought me so much. I remember the first time we met. I was struggling thinking I had no good choices left and a dear friend introduced you too me. I admit I was almost in love. The kids loved you too. It thrilled me, but I was afraid I would have to choose between you and my friend. She said you could stay! I promised I would let you help me do good, for I had seen others like you abused in heated passion. I saw your scars I vowed to never to put you through that pain again. I am sorry, at first you were a great help but I gave you a cold shoulder, over and over again. I always was glad you were availible and I tried to clean up our relationship until the day came I pushed you away and you hid in the dark. My husband found you and we agreed to give you a great honor: the grand helper to the Easter Bunny. You were looked upon as a great treasure. My kids loved you again, but not the same way as before. We had to protect you. That is when we placed you high above us, thinking if only greed and pleasure. Restricting the kids touch, then the fateful day. They could not wait get your treasures, and then in a moment you were gone. Eva cried bitter tears and my anger raged, how could this have happened? No one to blame but myself. I'm sorry rang through our house as we laid you to rest in the best place were you hopefully will do good once more and no longer be a bitter memory.
Goodbye my dear friend "Middle size Rubbermade bowl with a red lid. I can't repair you so to the recycles you must go. The things you gave me: dairy free pasta salad, oranges & apples, sliced apples in lemonade, salad, thawing meats for dinner, then finally jelly beans.
I wonder if your fate was a great warning to the choices our family has made in the past. If we had used you only for apples and salads you would probably still be with us. This is a sad day with deeper meaning where reality and emotions over a plastic container lead to this obituary.
Your friend, Heather Shutt
