We saw it coming, but no one wanted to believe it. Percy had developed white spots. He had taken to lying by his little plant.
I must say, Percy was a good fish. When you came to look at him, he'd always swim right up to you and look back. They girls were really sad. There were a lot of tears this morning.
However, I'm grateful they can experience things like this.
When asked to speak a few words at his burial Eli kept on saying "We should... we really should..."
as in we should really get another fish.
We said a prayer and laid our little friend's body to rest.
I even shed a couple tears.
Death is not the end. We know we shall meet our little Percy again.
And we know our Percy is happy in heaven with Joe.
