So Beautiful the Moment

GuTonight Dorothy does something rare: dhe climbs onto my lap whie I'm sitting on the counch, and asks to be petted. There is a long moment were she purrs like a car with a cylinder missing as I scartch her back and cheeks, while I tell her I love her so much. Desperately I grab onto this moment, trying to affix it into my faulty, second--rate  blue-light special excuse for a memory. There's so many things I forget, so much of my life that passes into a haze of memories that I can't quite grasp. But this is one moment I want to never forget.
