Bye Bye Bluey

Ryan came running with big tears one afternoon. "Mummy, mummy, my fish died already" he screamed and he kept on repeating it.

True enough, Bluey was floating upside down but thank goodness Reddy is still okay although he looked weak. The father quickly reove Bluey and change the water while Ryan cried his hearts out. We are not sure the source of Bluey's departure; was it not enough chlorine in the water? Did we give the fish enough food or was it too much food?

But one thing for sure. Ryan must be feeling guilty about not feeding Bluey as often as he should and now he remembers to feed Reddy without me having to remind him.

He is heartbroken but it's part and parcel of growing up.
