obituary

My dearest Chunky, you were about 2 years old when I have you, you have lived your life to the fullest here at my little garden pond for about 10 months. Your happy-go-lucky personality has attracted my sight at the pet store when I first met you, you stood out from a big crowd of goldfish and I know you'd be my favorite once I get you home, you were named by your appearance --- Chunky.

You were the one who always kiss my finger when I feed, never get afraid of my hand when I am changing water; you were always the first to come to greet me with your chunky head popping out from the surface of the water, you have brought me so much joy every morning when I am having my coffee by the pond, you are a very special goldfish and I am very sad to have lose you today to a predator.

If I would have go to the pond earlier this morning, you might still be alive, I blamed myself. I was up at 6am and there was I, busy about other things around the house and did not go feed you until 9am. Once I approached the pond, I noticed everyone were scared and not swimming up to me, you were not there anymore and I saw a water snake skimming on the surface of the lilies. At that time, I still hope you were just scare and hiding somewhere underneath. To a predator, you were a prey and you were the biggest to be fed on, very likely he chose you, I am very sorry.

Your legend will live on by your new-born baby - Bubble, I bless this baby with all my heart and he / she will continue your role in cheering everybody under and above water, may God rest your soul - Chunky, I love you, Amen.
