Valerie Bertsch has always been drawn to rabbits, so much so she decorated her Medford Lakes, New Jersey, home with paintings and sculptures of bunnies. Yet for much of her life, Bertsch owned only cats and dogs.
"As I got older, I thought 'I've always wanted a bunny. What am I waiting for?'" she said.
And so, for her 59th birthday, Bertsch wrote a note that read "I got you a bunny," put the note in a box, wrapped it, addressed it to herself, and signed it from her husband, Jay.
