RIP Fernando

So this morning was a very sad day in the Burgess household. The fish we adopted 2 1/2 years ago died this morning around the 8 O'clock hour. Here is a brief story on how we got Fernando...Two and a half years ago my Sister and her Husband had to go to Oregon for 9 months with his job. They thought it would be too hard to take the fish all the way to OR so we agreed to watch the fish until they got home. Well in that 9 months Brandon and I become very attached to the little guy and decided to go through with a formal adoption of the fish from my sister...So we woke up this morning to find him "Belly Up" in his fish bowl. It was so sad, especially because of how much Owen loved him! Owen loved going downstairs in the morning with Daddy because they always fed the fish together and Owen would say Fisy Fisy :( We said a little prayer for him and then made our way into the bathroom for a proper burial service. Fernando lived a long life of 3 years and enjoyed eating and swimming. RIP Fernando!!!!
