Mumbly Joe

This is Mumbly Joe. I met him 19 years ago when I was grilling on my back porch. We fast became friends and I coaxed him into becoming an indoor cat and enjoying all the comforts that came with that. We watched the twin towers fall together. Over the years we communicated by blinks, wave of the hand, just looking at each other to say what we needed. Starting his 20th year he hung on tight and he really could still get around, we made it comfortable for him. I have like a dozen theme songs I’d sing/talk to him. It sucks he’s gone, but even better I got 2 decades with a guy who only cared about love, that would wait for me every night to set down the guitar just to get held to tell me about his day.
