The Beane family has had their first death in the family...our fish Bobbo. Bobbo was a gift from Liv's cousin Lulu for her first birthday. Olivia was not super vocal so our neighbor Avery named him Bobbo. Bobbo loved to eat and swim in his tank. Our cats would drink the water out of the tank but leave him alone, sometimes he'd be swimming in less than an inch of water. Bobbo was a survivor, He traveled in a cooler in the car from Massachusetts to Tennessee,has been without food for days and days, and has had kids hands in his tank hundreds of times. Olivia seemed to handle it well, Steve tried to explain to her that Bobbo was going to heaven, and she just became very quiet. As we stood around the toilet each saying a nice thing, Liv seemed extremely sad and just kept staring at him. Of course as we were flushing him, the damn toilet started to overflow, and as Steve got the plunger I took that as my cue to leave the bathroom with Liv.
Bobbo you were Olivia's fist fish and well always remember you, hope you get lots of fish food and say hi to the big man for us:)
