El Gatito

I was just curling up on my couch to watch a movie and found myself wondering where Jazz was so he could curl up with me.  Then I remembered he's gone...Jazzmin got to return to Shar just before Thanksgiving.  He was getting old and wasn't feeling well.  I know that I complained a lot about how annoying he was and how I couldn't stand him, but I really miss him.  Especially since I'm home alone during the days now that I'm not working this month. 

I used to look at him and remember my dear friend Shar and all that she taught me about life and serving others.  He was a great friend to me.  I know that I sound like an old cat lady, but he was.  He always knew when it was bed time and would meow until I joined him.  He would listen to me without offering opinions or advice.  He used to come lay with me on the couch or in bed and just be there, purring away with his happiness.  That familiar sound calmed me and many times put me to sleep.  All he really ever required was to be fed and petted a little here and there.  He accepted all of me the way I am, just like Shar always did...It was almost like she was there with me helping me along...I'm really going to miss having him around, but I know that he is happy where he is hanging out with Shar again and being loved and taken care of...
