I Wish I Could Say It Weren't True...

Hi everybody. I thank you very much for your kind words and prayers, but Goldie’s sickness couldn’t be helped… in the middle of the night last night, she died. Dad even said to me last night…

Dad: “Amy, I have some bad news.”

Me: “What’s the problem?”

Dad: “Honey… I don’t think Goldie’s going to live through the night… I just went into the kitchen, she was hardly breathing… I thought she was already dead…”

Me: “Gee, I sure hope not…”

Dad: “I’m sorry Amy… we’ve tried everything we could, but we can’t stop her from dying if it’s her time.”

Me: “I really hope not…” (now comes the sad part)

Dad: “Me too… But honey, she’s on Death’s doorstep and she’s not coming back.”

… sad, isn’t it? But Dad also said something this morning after Mom broke the bad news to me…

He said, “I’m so sorry Amy… I wish we could live forever, but we can't…”

That’s what really touched my heart… But we can live forever… after we accept Him… in eternity… with God.

Thanks again for your kind words, deeds, and prayers about Goldie… Dad said he would take me to find another fish as pretty as her sometime… she was so beautiful... I'll post a picture of her soon... ;-)
