Rudy Murphy has gone to fish heaven. Michael wanted to bury him so I went to the funeral today.
Chrissy dug a hole under the redbud tree and he was laid to rest. We all covered him with dirt and said goodbye. I found a fish prayer on the internet and had Michael read it.
Thank you for being part of our life.
We will miss you now that you're gone.
Swim with your ancestors,
as fish have done for thousands of years.
As your body is here in the ground,
your bones will give new life to this tree.
Your spirit will swim on,
in our hearts and memories.
I was happy to be your only sitter. You were a good fish. You'll be missed, Rudy!
