Christine walks into the hospital room crying.
"What's wrong mom?" Tyler asks.
Christine sighs. "The doctor said that you have only about a month to live."
"Oh."
"Is there anything I can do for you or get for you to help you get through this hard time?"
He stays silent for a moment. "Can I have a cat?"
"Ew, a cat? Dogs are better! Get a dog instead!" Hallee announces.
"No, if he wants a cat we'll get him a cat!"
Hallee rolls her eyes and exits the room.
A few days later Christine and Hallee return with a cat. Tyler is handed the cat. He's always wanted a cat. The next week, when they returned to the hospital, Tyler was dead and the cat was sitting there on the bed.
