It is official. Thomas is no longer with us here on earth. He was at least nine years old, and he will be missed in our family. Personally, I am surprised he lasted so long. We moved two times with him and have many great memories of him. Goodbye Thomas, we love you.

Thomas

Well I got a notice from my doctor (why they couldn't just call me I don't know) that my thyroid levels are in the "normal" range. I wonder why it is then that I am so tired still, and my hair is coming out more than I like to see. Maybe it's just because it's summer, and my thick hair is acting like that of a cat or dog, and thining out to keep me cool..... sounds better than the possiblity that I am just loosing my hair for no reason right?

On a sad note.... we have had a fish named Thomas for at least nine years. He was our favorite goldfish and he was pretty big for a standard fish. Last night we noticed he was kind of floating. I say kind of because, although we thought he was dead, when we went to take him out of the tank, he struggled to move. If a fish could have a heart attack or stroke, I would say that is what happened to poor Thomas. We took him outside to our little pond, to see if maybe he would thrive out there, but alas, while not yet dead, doesn't look too good. I am guessing that given another day, he will have passed out of this world and into the next.

Blake is very upset, worried that he was the cause of Thomas's downfall. I tried to reassure him that this was a natural event, and not in anyway his fault. He seemed better after our talk.

God bless little Thomas.
