Milestone Person
        It's been about seven years ago that my life was changed by just one pet. All it was, was a little goldfish that glistened in it's fishbowl. I named him Golden because he looked like he was gold. Golden was my first pet so I cherished him so much.
              While I was bringing Golden home, I observed him swim around in the little clear fishbowl. All Golden did was swim in little circles. Once we got home, my mom wanted to put rocks and a couple of plastic plants in the fishbowl. I left my kitchen were my mom was for about two minutes and when I came back I saw my mom holding Golden in a net in the air. I thought my mom was killing Golden and tried to take the net out of her hand to put Golden the fishbowl. As I was crying and still trying to get Golden, my mom said "stop he's dead." I stoped and started to cry even harder.
                After we flushed Golden down the toilet, I tried to stop crying but couldn't. My mom saw how upset I was and asked me, "do you want another fish?" I replied " no, no other fish can replace Golden."
                From that day forward I never had another fish again.
                I've written about a sad milestone for me, and I would love to hear about one of yours, happy or sad.
