Bonny's Precious Flowerhorn Fish "BORIS" Is Sick

Bonny brought this flowerhorn fish (Luo Han) home more than two years ago when he was just about 4-5 inches long. He looked so ugly that Bonny named him "Boris" after the actor Boris Karloff who acted as the Frankenstein's monster. He has since grown to slightly more than 1 ft now. Since Bonny left for Heaven 9 months ago, I have been taking care of him with a couple other fishes. For the past three weeks, Boris has been sick attacked by parasitic organisms. It has been a couple of worrisome weeks for me seeing the once so active Boris to be so lethargic, not eating and at one stage even lying horizontally. Thanks to prayers for some saints and God-led adviser, he is doing better now but still not completely well.
Boris used to be very playful when he was well and I trust that he will be as playful and active again when he is completely well. Boris is precious to me not only because he was Bonny's pet, but his playful character reminds me of Bonny too. I must say that only that playful personality reminds me of Bonny and not his look though, Boris is far too "not-good-looking" to bear any resemblance of my gorgeous Bonny. If there is any resemblance, it is only the size---hugh and strong:-) I am glad that Heaven is not only a beautiful place, I am sure it is also a fun place where Bonny is having lots of fun too, fun that is much greater than what we experience here on earth. Can't wait to join him and Jesus in that heavenly fun and joy when my time on earth is done.
