Still Soaring, Nine Years Later
Nine years ago we brought this sweet boy home from Seattle Humane. We’d gone to get a companion for Tiger, a mature cat would be good, I thought.
But Bob and Mom picked Benji out from the others, captured by his sweet disposition. I wasn’t so sure, he was still a kitten. They were so right.
“Benji, we made the right choice. You’re the sweetest boy ever.”
“Aw thanks, Sue. I bet you say that to all your cats.”
“No, really, Benji. You’re something special. So entertaining.”
“Aw thanks, Sue. Just living my best life.”
“And the way you’ve overcome adversity is something to be admired.”
“We do what we can, Sue. You’d do the same.”
“I hope so, Benji. Anyway, you’ve been inspirational. After all these years, down a limb or not, I’m so happy you’re still soaring.”
“Happy Gotcha Day, Benji.”
