Another day, another sad milestone, it seems. Yesterday, we lost Jax’s beloved goldfish, “Blub.” It may seem like a small thing, being “just” a feeder goldfish you could pick up at any pet store for a few cents, but this fish was dear to Jax, and to the rest of us in Jax’s absence. Blub has been with us some four years or so, always swimming around in its bowl on the kitchen counter, always aware and responsive to human presence. Blub really seemed fond of all of us, and we were fond of Blub. We will be burying Blub under the river at “Jax’s Way,” where many objects of art and symbolism lie in loving remembrance.
If there is any love or justice in this vast universe, Jax and Blub (and the rest of our departed loved ones) are now together in perpetual joy and happiness. And someday, we too will join them again.
Farewell, Blub. We love you and will miss you!
