May He Rest in Peace

CIMG0082

Beloved James Lucas Scott has left us for greater things….

P1020304

He lived a good year, ten months, and 24 days. He was always a good fish. He ate his 4 pebbles morning and night and never made splashes.

We went through some hard times…he trekked with me through Idaho, Utah, and Arizona.

P1020306

There never was a fish like him.

P1020308

So loyal…

P1020309

So kind…

P1020310

So loving…

P1020314

So sweet…

P1020315

Goodbye, James Lucas Scott…

Your absence will be felt.

Oh man I never thought this day would come, but I am glad you got to remember and pay tribute to him here and by your toliet. Love the black veil, very funny. MISS YOU

two tears, one in each eye. I will never forget holding him through many states as we sang one tree hill and vented about...stuff. I will never forget teaching Thomas that he could try and touch him. I will never forget flirting with that weird orchestra boy for that free pencil, but that is a different story. By the way, I want a head band like that for JK.

Alcohol poisoning was the cause no doubt. You needed to keep him farther away from where you use your hairspray. Man, all those times I took such good care of him while you were gone. Can we trust you with Jenna Kim?

I have not too many memories of "the guy", but I do remember you lighting up when you were in the same room with him. I am glad that there are still people in the world that dress for the occasion. Did the RS bring in a light lunch for you, or did you go to McDonalds and have a Fish Sandwich? eweh. I wish I could have been there to place something appropriate for the services, like "Once there was a fish, fish, fish, Once there was a fish, swam, swam, swam. In his old age he stopped, stopped, stopped, in his old age he stopped and now he's flushed!! Love you AM
