Do you remember my pet fish BOB?
Well, this morning I went to his tank to feed him and well...he was gone :(
We knew it will happen eventually, but he was with us since July and we were taking pretty good care of him and it was just.so.unexpected!
The kids were told, we showed them the "body". Gabriel wanted to know why and how. Michelle just started sobbing hard saying that it was her fault for not playing with Bob yesterday. She seems ok now and she agreed to have him buried tomorrow.
The funeral will be held tomorrow evening on our porch. We are going to gently put Bob in a tiny box and buried him in a pot with potty soil. We will plant wild flowers on it so when spring comes and the pretty flowers will bloom, we can look at them and remember our little friend.

Awww! This is sad. I love your burial service idea. The kids will always remember Bob when the flowers bloom!
Aw, poor Bob :(
For a fish that you got in July, he certainly did live a long life!
I think that's such a beautiful tribute to a family pet :)
