Dearly Departed

It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of our beloved goldfish, Sushi Fugu Ni. We shall miss his bubbly personality. Sushi joined our family five years ago and quickly swam his way into our hearts.

Sushi enjoyed swimming in endless circles. He thought the gravel at the bottom of his aquarium tasted delicious. Over the years, he grew from the size of a marble to that of a racquetball.

Sushi's aquarium was a popular centrepiece in the kitchen. Visitors often exclaimed, "Wow! That's a big fish. What did he do? Swallow a golf ball or something?" Sushi's unusual proportions made for great conversation fodder.

After a long and productive life (at least for a goldfish, I suppose), Sushi has left us for a better place.

So long, my little golden friend. You shall be missed.
