Esther is my fish that I have had since January of freshman year. It all started out when I got 2 goldfish Bonnie and Clyde in October freshman year and they both died within 24 hours :(
I decided to grieve the rest of the semester and then got Esther because third time is the charm as they say....
She was the perfect fish, she swam, she did tricks, you could call her to the top of the tank by saying her name. She would do jumps up and down in her tank. She would hide in her castle and make my mom think she was stuck- she was of course just playing. She had a great sense of humor (she got it from me) She used to pick up the pebbles at the bottom of the tank in the wee hours of the morning and drop them making noise and sometimes waking me and my roommate from last year up. She was just a joy to have and a joy to be around. I miss her and the bubbler sound immensely.
Harry and Nellie my dogs miss her too.
Esther lived a full life. She lived in 3 of my college housing in Newton, Chestnut Hill and Brighton. She went to my regular house, she went to the Cape and she went to her Great Aunt's house for a weekend. She was such a trooper. She also spent time in other people's room freshman year when I went away for a weekend.She skyped on multiple occassions in this picture with my friend T in Australia.
She met hundreds of people in her short life and made friends with everyone she met. She was truly a special, special fish and I will miss her so much. RIP Esther
