The day my fish left me

16th May 2007 - 12.30am

The day and time my fish left me. I didnt get to take a one last look at my fish... I was staying over at Mabel's place.

I only discovered its death yesterday night when i came home from work. I have a habit of looking at my fishes the minute i step into the door. Yesterday, I saw that the tank was empty, but I thought it was because the fish was in another tank and my dad was helping me to change the water. A few hours later, I walked towards the fish tank, and wanted to put my fish back into its original tank. And it was then I realised that there weren't 4 fishes in the other tank. There were only 3. I couldnt believe it. I thought the fish is probably in a bucket or sth. I asked my mom. Halfway thru my sentence, I choked and started crying.

And then I just cry and cry until I fell asleep..

My dad said he buried the fish for me.

Dear fish,

Thanks for bringing me so much joy to my life the past 2+ years. Although there were times when you scare the hell out of me, you know you're still my dearest pet. The times I spent changing the water, buying medicine for you, i know i've complained, but never once did i regret having you. I'm sorry if I neglected you during your last days, I have been an irreponsible pet owner.

I will always remember & love u..

With love always
Your pet owner
