Bye, bye Jack…

… last night our one-eyed fish, Jack took a final trip down the porcelain tank.

I cried a little bit, but Yoshi reminded me that One-eyed Jack lived a lot longer than he would have had I taken him back to the pet store, so shouldn’t feel bad that he went bye-bye.

I still felt like a bad fish mom, though. (Sigh)

    Heck, considering it had one eye and all that, you’re a good fish mom for having it live that long–farewell, old jack…we hardly knew ye! (or at least, I didn’t even know him…)

    You are a good fishy Mom! A bad Mom would have taken him back to be flushed alive! He died a happy fish cause of you!
