Last night, Tako passed away. She had a reaction to some medicine she got
on Wednesday and was in what appeared to be a coma Thursday and Friday. Last night, it seems she had a seizure and
passed away. I found her this morning
with Zen laying next to her, trying to keep her warm.
I got Tako on my fifth day at site, 4 September 2012, from
another teach, Stanley Ngwira. She was
four months old. For that first month in
Thunduti, she was my only roommate and my only local friend. She was the second member of the Parr
family's Malawian extension. When I got
Fletcher, Tak instantly hated her, only for the two of them to become best
friends.
She was the first pet I’ve ever had that was just mine. She was my best friend, and “Our Queen.” She will be missed and will forever be in my
heart.
