When my father was dying,I traveled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days.It was far more heartbreaking than I'd expected,one of the most difficult and painful times in my life.After he passed away I stayed alone in his apartment.There were so many things to deal with.It all seemed endless.I was lonely.I hated the silence of the apartment But one evening the silece was broken:I heard crying outside.I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps.He was thin and poor.He looked the way I felt.I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish.He ate it and then almost immediately fell sound asleep.
From then on,things grew easier.With Willis in my lap time seemed to pass much more quickly.When the time finally came for me to return home I had to decide what to do about Willis.There was absolutely no way I would leave without him.

It's now been five years since my father died.Over the years,several people have commented on how nice it was of me to rescue the cat.But I knoe that we rescued each other.I may have given him a home but he gave me something greater
