Sherry
An exceedingly cute kitten who was born in May 1994 came to our home after spent 1 month with his mother.
He who had only 900g was named "Sherry" before long, and he had grown into more than 6kg in a moment, also his lovely and cherubic expression became beautifully.
He always was in center of our family. And we had thought that he also will spend quite long time for life span of cat, same as other many animals who spent long time with us together.
However, on the morning of 14 April 2005, we who woke up as always didn't hear his footsteps for came down to breakfast and his sweet voice of "Good morning" as always.
I had many changes of inside myself and situation around myself during decade plus 11 months with my sweet Sherry. But it has been the same intact during its hour, his existence was just love, was one and only "Sherry" that is not mere cat, was my irrecoverable life for me. His action, voice, feel, and more are remaining in my remembrance, and I'll never forget even if other cat came to our home.
Nevertheless it seems rare that I had photographed him. Although I collected photographs of him that I had taken, I can't find out all his expression that I love in it.
Even so, I don't regret it.
The hour with him was deep and happy and extremely lovable, we wished for more long notwithstanding. And the memory of our departed Sherry is in myself.
The photographs contain the very love and my ability of photograph, mentality and my perception to the universe which changed during the hour of decade plus 11 months with him, and those are myself that will continue to exist in myself through life. Therefore I have arranged limited photos of him.
Please pet him, and play and enjoy.
And if gentle feeling sprouted in yourself, please face someone that you love again and then put your feeling into that kindly and freely - like I always was doing for him.
Now preparing more photos ......... wait for few weeks please!
