Most of you Wittians probably have a pet out there you love
dearly. be it your cat, your dog, your horse, your bunny, your
hampster, your bird, or another. Naturally, you'd be devestated
for he or she to die. I'm alergic to all of these. For me, it's
my fish.
You may not think one could be as attatched to her fish as say,
her dog. You can't pet them, they can't snuggle up in your lap,
and you can't take them on a walk through the park. That may be
true, but I've loved my fish more than any other. They have been
my world, and my devotion to them, however uncommon, is deeply
rooted.
Today I had a lot of fun. I laughed and I joked and I smiled, but
it was short lived. I came home to find my beloved Sunrise
dead.
Sunrise is - or rather was - a gold molly. She was expecting fry
(she was pregnant) when she passed, she was expecting the fry of
Storm, my silver lyretail molly. She died of ich, a common
disease. The local aquarium told us not to worry. It seemingly
was not a serious case, as my dear Sunrise was still eating and
swimming and acting rather normally, yet she passed. She was a
strong fish with a strong spirit, whose absense leaves my heart
broken. Will the sun rise tomorrow without my poor beloved
Sunrise to carry the dawn on her golden shoulders?
Rest in peace, my beloved.
