Oscar 1999-2008

Jason and I just had an impromptu funeral for one of the members of our family. Oscar, our flying fox fish (example image above), passed away this past evening. He had been acting a bit strange the past few weeks, so we were aware that this might happen soon. Oscar had a long life in the Mears family. He endured the move from Birmingham to Atlanta to DC and has been in our family since 1999. Rest in peace.

Sigh, it just won't be the same without you Oscar.

Oh my goodness! That fish lived a wonderfully long life!!!

It is sad though, that fish has been with you through practically your whole marriage.

Oh my. I hope Angel is holding up okay. Are you planning on replacing Oscar? RIP Oscar!
