We told him...

We told Holt yesterday that Romo (the fish) died. It must have really helped that I prepared him a couple days ago. I had told him that it was probably going to happen soon. He helped John bury him and he got a little sad and teary. He asked a few of the usual questions and sweetly said "His spirit is what goes to heaven b/c his body isn't working any more. He can pick to be any color of fish he wants to be up there w/ God." I tried really hard not to cry...only shed a small tear. He said he was getting better at it b/c he's growing up. I was proud of that big boy. Losing a pet is never easy!
