fish, dizzy g., 2, maple grove
today is a sad day. i attended a funeral this morning after a very unexpected death. dizzy passed on early this morning (or late last night, we're just not sure) and was given a burial at sea around 10:30. dizzy was a joy to all who knew him during his two short years-always excited about life, eyes wide open at the prospect of something new. i have to confess that i did not know dizzy until this morning when bob brought him in the net. four of us gathered around dizzy, with thoughts and prayers in our hearts. "when i look at how fish are so much a part of the new testament, fish and christianity as we know it are just so interrelated. much more than we would ever dream. this is a loss. and i don't know what it has to do with fishing opener being last weekend, but you know, i gotta believe this timing isn't a coincidence. i mean it's probably kind of symbolic about what's happening out there," one attender noted. on the way to the sea among seas of swirling waters, we gave a proper amount of wailing for such a small little guy. but there was laughter. for his life was something to celebrate. tomorrow he will be replaced, but today? today was his day in the spotlight. goodbye, dizzy. may the waters be kind to your gentle stature and may fish heaven be full of tasty flakes. swim on.
