Um, that last post? Can we just pretend it never existed? Because the two newest residents of Daxlantis have, um, "checked out".
Dax hasn't noticed yet and I'm dreading when he does. Quite frankly, I don't think he'll care where "mommy's fish" has gone but his frog, Miss Merissa? That's another story. I think he's going to be quite upset. I'm surprisingly sad about it myself.
How do you tell a two-year-old about death? I don't think you can. I'm positive I can't tell Dax about it, anyway. He's got no frame of reference (and thank God for that).
I think I'll just tell him that the frog and fish have gone to live in the ocean. He likes the ocean. And really, perhaps fish and frog heaven is just one giant, beautiful ocean.
Rest in Peace little critters.
