In Memorium


Hani Sprinkle Sweetcakes Kennedy, the purple beta fish, passed away today after two years of being the Moo's constant companion. We don't know when Hani was born, but we remember the day that he came to live with us. The Moo picked him out right away; she knew as soon as she saw him that Hani was the fish for her. Hani was buried in a short ceremony in the backyard, and the Moo said a beautiful prayer thanking Hani for being such a good fish. The Moo remembered Hani this way: "He was an awesome fish when he was alive, and I hope he still is when he is in heaven. He was a magical and miracle fish when I bought him. Once I thought he died quickly but he didn't; he was asleep. Today I bless for Hani and I will meet you again Hani, and you will be in my memory forever. I will never forget you. Bye Hani, I love you."

The Moo is devastated by her loss, and left flowers at Hani's grave site. The Bean wrote Hani a letter and left it by his grave site as well. We will miss you, Hani! Thank you for being our first fish!!!

  1. We're so sorry to hear about Hani's death and hope that Moo will be okay with this shortly after learning about the cycle of life. Will she get another fish? We're glad you shared this situation with us in your blog. We loved Moo's prayer for her pet.
