Last night I had to tell Baileigh that her pet Betta fish Nemo died. She loved this fish so much and it broke my heart to tell her. She was very upset as she cried while saying goodbye to her beloved fish. I would be lying if I said I didn't get teary eyed and choked up watching her.
Today we buried him in the back yard by the gardens. We put an American flag in the ground along with the two plastic plants that were in his tank. After we put them in she said "daddy, I just want to stand here for a minute". Again it broke my heart.
When we went inside she then asked "When can I get a new fish? I want a goldfish and name him Goldie". I guess Everybody deals with grief their own way. So, needless to say tomorrow we will be off to the pet shop to look at goldfish. Hey, it's better than her wanting a dog.
Goodbye Nemo. Baileigh will miss you and always love you. Come to think of it, I will miss him too.
