Last time I saw this:

it was in the room, a few years ago. I remember Uzi got it from Stimatzky's, for 100 shekels. I'd read them all but he hadn't and was quite excited abt having all DNA nicely lumped together. I, OTH, having read them all already, was quite excited w the cover's colour, simply bcs it was gorgeous and fit the rest of the room. Which I'd redecorated and sprinkled w books, of course. Uzi was hopeless.

I once read a paper on what happens to a cat's digestion under stress. All food turns into one hard, heavy substance. I can fully understand how this could indeed be so bcs, as I turned a corner in a bookshop a while ago, I found this very book at eye level and it a) took my breath away b) formed a long-lasting lump in my throat c) dried all gastric juices d) caused my sandwich to become lodged somewhere to the right of me.

Today's not being so kind. As I was trying to make space for more books on the shelves, I came across a picture of him. He must have been abt 3 years old. Full-blown flashback once more, I remember seeing it at his parent's house and asking for a copy. It took him forever to have it done, and I'd conveniently forgotten abt it. He was the most beautiful child. You'll see, some day, when I scan them. You'll see.
