I Went Home Tired and Found This
Hello everyone! I hope we are all in God's grace and mercy. The Sun has shown up today but clouds are still lingering on the sky but despite that, I could say that it is a beautiful day.
Mos of the days, I come home tired and it will be okay later when my kids are okay and seeing my pets okay as well but this day, I saw one of my red cap fish die and it broke my heart.
So I went to my work as an electric wire installer one day, It was very hot and even hotter because I was working near the roof of the house. It was still under construction and Kuya Ruel was asked to come and install the electric wires before the construction workers add the finishing touches so that they will not have to redo anything.

Taking pictures of my dripping sweat because it was very hot; I was not bale to bring an extra shirt that is why I had to take my shirt off
I and Kuya Ruel had to be very careful where to step on the ceiling because it could collapse and we could fall. That's the roof on my background.
This is what t he constructed house looks like. Piles of construction supplies are inside it
We had to use this ladder to go up
Before installing the wires, We had to wrap it up with this orange hose so rat bites will be avoided as well as other wire related damage too.
The same day, the power supply went off from 8 am to 4 pm and that is perhaps the reason my fish died. I had a aerator and water pump for my fish aquarium and i need the power supply to get the two working. That morning,I fed them a good amount of fish feeds too. The wife and I bought three redcap fish four months ago but that two died in the past few month leaving this one alone and now it died as well. I still have Koi fish left to take care of but this made a hole in my heart.
What about you, have you taken care of a fish before? Have you lost a dear pet in your care?
