Tink

In Loving Memory of Tink

On April 21st, I said goodbye to our dear Tink, a cat whose presence brought joy and inspiration to all who knew her. Tink was not just a pet; she was family—a courageous, affectionate soul who touched hearts with her bravery and unwavering love.

Tink was special from the start. Petite and gentle, she possessed a spirit that defied her size. Despite her petite frame and the absence of front claws, Tink fearlessly protected her home and loved ones from all threats, embodying a bravery that left us in awe. She stood tall against snakes, moles, coyotes, and rival cats, never backing down from defending what she cherished.

Her adventurous nature was a marvel. For many years, Tink embarked on nightly escapades, exploring the world around her with unyielding curiosity. She refused to let anything hold her back, teaching us the beauty of embracing life with boundless wonder.

At home, Tink was a constant companion and source of comfort. Whether napping at your feet, resting a paw on your hand, or cuddled close during movie nights, she was always by your side, a loyal presence that made every moment brighter. One cherished memory was her summer ritual of accompanying me to the pool, patiently waiting outside the gate for my return to guide me safely home.

Tink’s love was boundless. She greeted everyone with affectionate kisses, making friends and leaving an indelible mark on all she encountered. Her capacity to love was truly extraordinary—a gift that enriched lives and created lasting memories.

To have shared life with Tink was a privilege and a blessing. Her spirit, resilience, and unwavering devotion taught us invaluable lessons about courage and unconditional love. Though she may be physically gone, her spirit will live on in our hearts, a reminder to embrace life fearlessly and love wholeheartedly.

Rest peacefully, sweet Tink. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Thank you for gracing our lives with your beautiful presence.

With all my love,
Mom
