Gregory

Lost of a very good friend.

Gregory has been my fish for a little over a year now, he has brought me peace in some great times of trouble while in the hospital with Conner I can't explain in words how much he means to me.

today he passed away from an illness that is common in betta fish.

Last night I went over to go and see him and say hello and tell him how much I missed him he didn't look good he was all white around the gills and looked really bloated and puffy I called my sister to say that he didn't look good and ask her what I can do about it I described how he looked she said that he had a disease that was very common and it there was nothing I can do for him I cried and asked her if she was sure she said that she could bring over antibiotics in the morning but she didn't know if it would help.

I sat and talked with him for a bit he started to swim around as if he knew that I was there and I cried and told him much I loved him and how I needed him to fight. still I I knew it was stupid but he was a really good friend.

When I woke up this morning I went over to check on him he looked as if you'd gotten worse and I again told him i loved him. Callie showed up about 930 and went and put antibiotics this tank see if we could kill the bacterial infection that had taken control over him. she said to just repeat treatment for five days to see if it would help but she didn't know if he would make it.

Had to get the children ready because I had appointments in Anchorage so I told him that I had to go. I packed up the kids and I went in for my appointments and I came home I went to check on him before he even unloaded the children and he
Had died.

I made a little paper box and put my dear friend in it and buried him in my garden and I wanted to say...

Greg you helped me through some of the hardest times of my entire life you swam around and were beautiful. I love you from the very beginning. I love how you were always there to bring me peace, and I hope that you are in a place that is beautiful and I hope that you get to swim with the other fishes I love you Greg. Thanks for, Everything
