Fish heaven that is. My little daughter, age 4, was putting on her PJ's tonight when I asked her if she had fed her fish today. She innocently went over to the tank, and said Goldilocks is hiding in there. Usually that is true, but today, I see it floating on its side on top. I had to tell her it died. It was heartbreaking. She ran out of the room in tears. Her big brother gave this fish to her for Christmas, and she loved it. They then went outside and buried it. This was very hard for her, and she was standing there in the rain, with tears streaming down her face and the most pitiful, sad look on her face while sobbing and saying "Goldilocks!" over and over. I then put her to bed, and she was so upset, she couldn't stop crying. Later when her brother came in to say good night, she hugged him and thanked him for giving her Goldilocks, then went right back into the wailing about how she misses Goldilocks so much. We said some prayers, and she began to calm down enough to fall asleep. What a night!
God bless Michelle |
