Appreciating Life

This is Jose Miguel, from Brazil. We both went on Friday's Spanish student excursion. He is happy and genuine and carries around a picture of his cat. We even took a picture with the cat. I asked him if he likes cats more than dogs. He told me didn't like either until he had a massive heart attack. His doctor told him he should get a pet to help relieve stress. A friend gave him a cat, which he didn't want. Now he loves it. He lives alone, just him and his cat. He said since nearly dying he tries to life live fully, travel, and learn as much as possible.

I learned more than Spanish that afternoon.
