Goodbye

Yesterday one of our fish died. The kids were so upset. We burried him in our backyard and my son put a little cross on top of the grave.

My daughter wanted to say a prayer tonight and asked me to go first.
So I said: " I wish Little Fish (my daughter named him) has a really big aquarium or lake to swim in and lots of boyfriends and girlfriends to play with."

She then closed her eyes and said her own prayer "I wish Little Fish has a big glass coffin to swim in with lots of friends". I wondered for a moment why she used the word "coffin" and not aquarium.

As she opened her eyes she said: "If he's in a coffin the birds can't get to him."

You went by the name "Little Fish" but you gave great joy to our family.
Flounder and Vinny will miss you, as shall we.
