Adrian by Sarah Hutchinson / Mommy (Sarah) & Sam (sister)

When I first found out I could have my very own pet I was thrilled to bits! I could get my own Goldfish! When I went to get you, Adrian, I knew you would need some company, so I also got you a sister like figure ‘Sam’.

I chose purple and green fluroescent gravel a plant and a divers helmet, to make your tank more homely. You absolutely loved swimming in and out of the helmet and hiding behind it so I had to look for you! I know alot of people think it’s pointless being upset over a goldfish, but you were the only one who I could depend on being my friend no matter what. But sad as it is to say, it came to this day in may when my dear little Adrian passed away.

I came to feed you and I could not see you, then I looked near the plant and you was just lying there…still as the water in your tank, your little eyes glazed over staring into no where. My eyes welled up and I knew I had to let you go. I did not want to flush you but I knew it was the right thing to do so I did, and that was that you were out of my life…for ever…

To alot of people it may of seemed my fish were not important to me, but now one has gone. I wish I’d took more time to try prevent this loss.

My last words…

I know that what has happened is sad and a loss, and I realize no one other than me and Sam (your sister) care, but I hope that wherever you are, you are happy and I will see you in heaven once again and I love you with all my heart.

 

With all the love we posess,
Adrian
