far more beautiful music than i could ever make

Samuel Barber - Adagio For Strings

In case you haven't heard this, you best listen right now. Because it's about the most beautiful thing that I've ever heard. It's also incredibly sad, which is why I'm using it now.

Why am I sad? Well I'll tell you. Miss Mary Ann, the fish, has perished. I just found her, stuck against the filter. I don't know if she died via being sucked there, or if she died, and then was just sucked against it because she wasn't swimming. But either way, I'm heartbroken.

Poor De Quervain too. What will he do without a friend? I'll have to get him a new one.

Dear Dan--Sorry about your dear pet. I hope you can take comfort in the fact that Mary Ann died in her own bed (so to speak) - Your Dad had two fish that we found just lying on the table next to the tank - very hard and dry. Work hard - Love, Grandma W. --

OH WAIT. No, it wasn't about fish. That was a different one. This one was about strings.
