You may think that's a father's pride talking, and maybe it is.
But he had a music scholarship.
He would have performed for presidents and world leaders.
In my mind, when I see him, it's usually at his piano, playing for his cat.
When he was 15, I promised him a kitten if he did well in school, and he picked out this tabby, the tiniest and angriest tabby in the world, and named her Terry.
She loved only him, and hissed and growled at anyone else who came near, including me.
She also peed on his clothes, and on mine, and on my bed.
To say I wanted to get rid of Terrible Terry, as I called her, is an understatement.
But then my brilliant son died.
And suddenly it was just me and terrible Terry and the gun.
I felt nothing but resentment toward that cat.
But she spent hours and hours slouched on the windowsill in his bedroom where she always sat while he played piano.
I used to think she sat there to watch the birds and couldn't care less about his playing.
No, she didn't even lift her head.
She just loafed on the sill as if waiting for him to come bursting in and pull the dust cover off and start playing.
And there were buttons.
You've seen them, I'm sure.
Those gimmicky buttons that people get to train animals to talk.
Bunch of nonsense if you ask me.
What does a dog got to say?
