I think I need to be writing an obit for my blog, that seems to be dying a slow death...no post for almost a week?...and that's become the norm?! What a slacker. But before I pronounce it dead, I'll try my hardest to resuscitate it over the coming weeks. But beyond resuscitation:
Luke, beautiful blue Betta fish, is dead.
Luke the fish, 3 month pet of Luke the boy, has died a tragic death. Luke's native origin is unknown but as a young fish, he spent time in the murky waters of the Walmart pet department. Most recently, he resided in a lovely tank on Luke the boy's bookshelf. He is survived and grieved (kind of) by Luke, the boy, and Lily, the boy's sister. Mom and Dad are sharing in the children's surprisingly mild disappointment. Luke the fish enjoyed leisure days of swimming, breathing and eating. He recently enjoyed a 9 day stay on the Wheeler piano, and the family is grateful Luke was able to see the world (another living room) before his untimely death. Services were held around the ceramic circle, at 10:30 p.m. on July 22, with Dad officiating (flushing). Mom was too distraught (grossed out) to attend services. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that no one ever mention the fish again, in hopes that Luke, the boy, will soon forget Luke, the fish, so that a replacement will not be necessary.

Poor Luke the fish!!! The Wheeler boys will be so upset. But if you don't want Luke the boy to be reminded, than I might just keep my mouth shout to the Wheeler boys. Sorry, we were not able to attend the service. He was a good fish... I am just thankful that it did not happen on my watch!
