My gingy of 13 years old passed away last year

n loving memory of a faithful friend

For 13 beautiful years, Gingy lived a life woven into the heart of a family. From the first moment those curious eyes looked up, something clicked—an unspoken bond was formed, simple and deep. Gingy wasn’t just a pet. Gingy was love with paws, a quiet listener, a constant in a world that never stopped changing.

As a young one, Gingy had energy like sunlight—bounding through hallways, chasing shadows, turning ordinary days into small adventures. There were the silly moments—spilled food bowls, stolen socks, or barking at invisible invaders outside the window. But more than anything, there were the quiet ones: curling up on the couch beside you, resting a head on your knee, watching the world go by in peaceful silence.

Gingy saw you grow, change, laugh, and cry. When days were hard, Gingy stayed. When joy came, Gingy shared it, tail wagging or purring, eyes shining with something that felt very close to understanding.

Time moved on, gently but steadily. Gingy slowed down, the zoomies became strolls, and naps became longer. But the love never faded. If anything, it grew stronger, deeper—like roots planted long ago that had wrapped around your soul.

And then, today, Gingy took the final steps of this journey. Quietly, gracefully, as if whispering, “It’s okay. You’re going to be okay.”

Now, the bed feels a little emptier, the room a little quieter. But Gingy isn’t gone. That kind of love doesn’t disappear. It lingers in memories, in habits, in favorite spots on the floor, in the soft echo of paws in your heart.

Somewhere, beyond the veil of what we see, Gingy runs free again—young, whole, waiting. Until then, Gingy’s story lives on—in you, in every memory, and in the quiet warmth of love that never really leaves.
