We had fish friends.
We bought them on Monday.
We gave them names.
We gave them a home.
Then they died.
Rest in Peace, Ferdinand & Prince Phillip.
We really did have good intentions when we adopted you.
I want you to know that, even though we didn't know each other that well yet, I cried when you died.
Now we have a cheerless, waterless vase with gold pebbles and a fake plant where you used to roam.
I am not yet to the anger stage of my grief,
but I feel it coming on.
