My little Chinese Lady

Her name is Miss Tony AKA Toshiko, they always Americanize their names for us. Anyway, my neighbor, my grandma age lil lady of love is in trouble. Seems her sanity has taken leave for awhile but has left her with a wistful smile, at least. She used to come by to give us "Japanese Crackers" which were not very good, but I told her I liked them, so she brought more, and more. I brought them to my high school students and they hate them when they got really hungry. One day she brought me "da cat" and she made her hand do a lill clawing move. It looks like a souvineir you might buy in China Town. It's about 6 inches tall, metallic gold and painted with lively colors to look like a majestic Chinese Cat or kind of like a Buddha Cat, when you turn it on it waves its one arm back and forth forever, until you turn it off. I love that Cat, it sits above my desk at school. On my bad days I say we need some kitty and I turn on the Cat to cheer us up. Anyway, Miss Tony's husband was found dead in their home while she was found laying on the ground alive in the front room. She was sitting up in the gurney as they wheeled her away to the ambulance, I thought she would look all distraught and sick, but no, she looked over at me, smiled and raised her lill arm and waved it back and forth forever. I love Miss Tony and I hope to see her again soon, maybe tomorrow.
