A Bond Beyond Words
Some connections don’t need explanation—they’re felt in shared moments, quiet routines, and the simple joy of being together.
Cindy and Rocket shared a bond shaped by love, adventure, and an unspoken understanding
that would go on to inspire stories meant to be shared with others.
An Inseparable Pair
Rocket brought joy and adventure into Cindy’s everyday life, from long walks and beach days to dock jumps, ball-retrieving, and even secret strolls to visit his cousin Marley. Through playful routines and quiet moments alike, Rocket added warmth, comfort, and companionship to Cindy’s home, reminding her daily of the deep bond that can exist between people and the animals they love.
A Lasting Inspiration
Rocket’s loyalty, gentleness, and joyful spirit left a lasting impression that stayed with Cindy long after their moments together passed. Even after Rocket was no longer here on earth, his presence remained through memories, routines, and the lessons he lived so naturally—kindness, belonging, and love—becoming the heart behind the stories Cindy felt called to share.
From Heart to Page
After retiring from a corporate writing career, Cindy turned to children’s storytelling as a way to honor Rocket and explore a more personal form of writing. Rocket Gets a Home grew from that journey, offering gentle stories for young children and the families who read with them—stories meant to create calm moments of connection and feel familiar, comforting, and worth returning to.
"Cindy's stories are like a warm hug – comforting, uplifting, and filled with so much love. Rocket's spirit shines through every page!"
