a visit from a beloved friend

12.19.13.14.1 1 Imix 14 Zac

When I woke up this morning and opened my eyes, Zen-zen was lying on my pillow with his paws tucked underneath his chest. His eyes were half closed. The sun shining on his black fur made it look red-brown, the color of Pepsi. He wasn't purring at first, but like he always did, knowing I was looking at him, he started a very quiet whole-body purr. He was in perfect profile, showing his round Siamese shaped-head, so different from Nutter's.
I looked at him for a few minutes but when I started to cry I closed my eyes and when I opened them again he was gone.
Just like he has been for 3 months and 3 days, since he had a heart attack and died.
