You Are My Sunshine...

Last summer, Daniel and I took our niece and nephew, Bentli and Tate, to the pet store. They helped us pick the perfectly colored Beta fish to sit on my kitchen table. Bentli and Tate chose the fish bowl and rock colors that would create the most humble abode for our new fish, which they appropriately named Sunshine. Sunshine spent most of his days swimming circles in his small bowl, until we brought back a new vase for him to live in from France. I formed a special bond with sweet Sunshine each week as I scrubbed his fish bowl, and I often found Daniel giving him a few extra food pellets. Sunshine always made us happy when skies were gray, but after Sunshine saw us packing this picnic...

...to go do this at the local fishing pond...

...he did this...

Our Sunshine was taken away, and he'll never know, dear, how much we loved him!
