This past Sunday our household said goodbye to a good friend. He came into my life via a gift from Jeff and Kris, and into Andrea's life via marriage. He is survived by 5 other fish and 2 owners. Services were held Sunday afternoon around 5:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the "cancerous fish foundation". We will miss our beloved friend.
Yes, we lost a member of our "family" but we knew it was coming. I think Andrea took it a little harder as she made me "push the handle". She said she couldn't do it! :) When we looked in the tank the fish was stuck to the suction of the filter, I got him off of that and it would swim for a while, and then it would go upside down for a while, and then it would act normal again. I think his nervous system was shutting down slowly. It was kinda pathetic to watch.
For those of you who are on my side of the family, you can be thinking about Andrea's brother Jaime. He is over in France working and they are beginning to be hit hard by the economic crisis. They are having mandatory shut downs and his future over there uncertain at this time. Please pray for him and the others that we works with. Hang in there J!
The other day I did something I didn't think I would ever do. I joined Facebook. Not sure why I caved in, but I did. Now I have something else to occupy my time while Andrea is working late. I must admit it's fun to see what all of my high school and college friends are up to nowadays. Now if I can just convince them to be my "friend"!
Hope everyone's week is going well!
