Churchill, my fish, passed away tonight. He had been with me for nearly 10 years. I'm somewhat sad about it. Not like when my beloved dog Tai Ling passed away, of course. That just about killed me. And it's not like I took Churchill for walks or petted him or taught him tricks, but he had been a fixture in the living room aquarium for a long time.
I buried him in the backyard. No ceremony, but near where Tai is buried. Usually when a fish dies, I just discard it, but Churchill had been with me a long time. He was -- if there is such a thing, and I'm not sure there is -- a good fish. I'll miss him. Yes, I know you probably think that's a bit silly. Probably is, but I still will. And personally I think Heaven holds a place for all the creatures we love. After all, it wouldn't be heaven without them.
Churchill, S.I.P. (Swim In Peace)
