The Day After

Rather than replaying the heartbreaking goodbye, I redirect my attention to the wonderful adventures we shared: sneaking her into movies, concerts, hotels, backstage, wherever we went—Ginger was there.
Rarely a moment when she wasn’t resting happily in my arms. 
She was in our wedding; she’s in almost every on-camera production we created; she was the mascot for every family vacation; her life was vibrant and meaningful.
Ginger taught me patience and compassion. While I will miss her sassy little attitude and the adorable way she would run in her sleep; I’m grateful for the 15 years of unconditional love and joy she provided. I know that the long yawn she had into her deep sleep was a good sign—she’s at peace.
