Everyone who knows me knows I loved my pet fish Rey. I bought him filtered water and made sure he had exposure to sunlight. I even brought him with me in the car when I went to Cape Cod and drove to western Massachusetts for long weekends. Friends joked that of course this would happen when you give a social worker a fish.
One week, I noticed Rey had a cloud over his eye which appeared to be bulging. I called the pet store. They said this was a fungus and told me which medicine to buy. I made sure to give Rey the correct amount.
It did not help. Rey began to have seizures and then unconscious moments. He stopped eating. It was painful to watch him struggle. I sang HU, a sacred love song to God, and called for assistance for this Soul from Prajapati, the ECK Master who helps animals.
Rey was drawn to the HU. I played the HU on my phone for twenty minutes every night while I fell asleep and for twenty minutes in the morning while I got dressed and did my makeup. Rey’s fishbowl was on my dresser, so he was always hearing the HU. When I sang it to him, he would pause from swimming and look at me.
Rey Leaves with the HU
One night I woke up and heard the HU quite loudly. I thought it was odd because the recording should have ended hours ago. I fell back asleep.
When I woke in the morning, I discovered Rey had passed. I was devastated to lose my little companion but knew he was relieved of physical pain.
It is amazing that such a little creature can have such a big impact. When I called my dad, he said he had just done a crossword puzzle. One of the clues was “Spanish word for king,” and the answer is rey. My dad said he was about to call me because it had made him think of my pet.
Rey touched my life by teaching me about love and letting go. This is what love is—doing your best to care for someone while also giving them spiritual freedom to live out their journey.

SOULS LIVES ON THROUGH ETERNITY.
Thank you for sharing the connection you and Rey had even as he was so tiny. Animals are so precious, may your love go on and on. May the Blessings Be!
Dear Angelica,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience. You are inspiring.
That is so beautiful. I also have betta fish and they are intelligent little beings. So worthy of love and light. Bless you for sharing such a beautiful story. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this, Angelica! The loud HU and also the ECK working with your Dad in the puzzle for “rey”! This was an amazing story. Rey was very beautiful and so happy you shared your lives together. Peace and May the Blessings be.
Such a wonderful experience and beautiful wisdom that you shared!
Thank you!
Thanks for all this expérience in ECK Baraka Bashad
What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing the loving gift of HU!
Every pet, even a little fish, touches our Heart. Their souls continue a journey, as do we. Cherish their Spirit & Memory!
Thank you Angelica. Yours is a beautifully told story. We had a little white cloud minnow “Spot” in our home for seven years. He brought much joy into our lives and many tears when he left. Your story about “Rey” brought back fond memories of our dear little friend.
How simple the HU is. Our minds try to make love so complex an issue when we should but realize how profound love is and leave it at that.
I liked you story very much. It’s touching. Sharing the HU with a pet is surely a gift of love and it strengthens the love bound between Souls.
So sweet, thank you for sharing!
You went out of your way to show him he was cherished and valued. Love so big fits in all bodies and beings.
Thanks for sharing with us
A lovely touching story. It is wonderful how the Sugmad (God) tends to each and every Soul, putting them in relationships the the best partners on the journey (no matter how short or long) home. Thank you, Angelica.
