I got a call from Nicole yesterday while at work. Aurora, our beloved goldfish, had finally breathed her last and said goodbye.
A little background might be in order for those of you unfortunate to have never met Aurora. For Allie's fourth birthday, my sister gave her a little goldfish. You know the kind, it lives for six weeks at best and becomes the object of a sad but important lesson in life and death.
According to Allie's calculations, Aurora was with us for 9 years, 8 months, and 48 days.
She was a good fish and will be missed.
