Freebird, this oldie isn?t being fair! If anything, we were too nice to our fish, not "purtty" tough. And if I may say so, we seemed to have cured him of his former heartache -even though we may have made him a new one... Another matter: Kitten (you-know-where) is asking advice on how to spend her honeymoon in Paris - please relay some of what I mailed on the "I?m here"/pisces board/ probably page 3, meant for Allen while you were supposedly kidnapped! I?m not connected to where Kitten is, but tell her not to overdo the tourist thing - tell her to stop and smell the roses!

hi again fellow fish,
I have been dealing with a prolonged family crisis which ended last week with the death of my father. He had a very hard time breathing due to years of smoking and then we finally had to remove life support because of no improvement. We actually spent Christmas and New Years Day in the critical are unit of the hospital.
It has been a tension-filled and nightmarish time for my mother and I, and the whole ordeal still seems surreal. However, the support of friends and family has been overwhelming I have also been dealing with other issues and relationship drama (the always turbulent life of a pisces of course), but my father's situation has totally changed our lives forever. I have taken time off work to be with my mother and just to refocus my life.
I am not looking for sympathy sweet fish and fish friends. I feel that I owe everyone an explanation, notably the wonderful freebird, the sweet turtle and the precious sweet p. I love you all. This is one sad little fish whose spirit has been crushed and cannot sleep, but I feel at home in these waters.
bless you all,
allen of america

Welcome Home Allen Fish 🙂

I saw your name and a HUGE smile came across my face..I am so very glad that you have returned but Allen, I am also saddend by the loss of your father. I KNOW what you have been going through. My mom passed away 3 years ago Christmas. It is tough releasing a parent when they have been in our lives forever and there is no doubt about this being a life changing experience as you said. I'm sorry my Allen~fish *freebird takes her wing and gently wraps her soft feathers around her special sad fish friend sending feelings of love and comfort* saying "I'm here."

Thank you for coming back and sharing with us. You were very much missed and are very much loved.

Love,
Freebird

My dearest Allen, my deepest sympathy for your loss. You already know how I feel, Freebird has lost a parent too, so obviously we all have something in common besides of the free spirit imagination.
But I must say, in spite of all that, my big smile matched Freebird?s (bet?) how wonderful to see our favorite back. Now it?s up to Freebird to "reel you in" - yes, she said she would! So we promise to be extra nice (for the time being at least). Doesn?t that sound good?
Please do as Freebird says, she?s the wise one here.

sad to say, but it seems several of us fish and related species have experienced troubles, sadness or hardship in recent weeks. Not to sound melodramatic, but I wish that I could hug you all.
Yes, life sucks at times but I guess we must swim along _ even if it us against a swift stream.
What choice do we have? I guess we could all become Goth Fish. I am worried about Sweet-P. has anyone heard from here. She is a special person and all of you are.
