Death in our family




We knew this day was coming. One of Lee's goldfish died yesterday. We noticed the fish was starting to move slowly, and had brown spots all over. He refers to the fish as his children. Their names are Tommy, Susie and Ester. I kid you not, he came up with those off the wall names on his own. Anyway, Susie passed away and it was very upsetting for Lee. We put the fish on a paper towel in the bathroom. Lee pet the fish as we said a prayer. I really didn't know what to do with Susie. Terry thought we should throw it (her) away, I thought we should flush her. In the end she is swimming somewhere, Lee says she is happy now because the water is better in fishy heaven.

Ester? Really? Zach's turtles are Timmy and Tommy. Maybe Lee should be around Zach more and let some of his exceptionalities rub off on him!! He sounds like such a character!

I am very sorry about the loss of your beloved Susie. She will be missed.

PS. Jingawing is what Zach calls my new last name...
