From diapers to decades. How the years have flown by… 🐒❤️ From time to time, I find myself wondering where the years have taken us… how swiftly they’ve flown by. It feels like just yesterday my brother and I were toddlers, playing on the lawn without a care in the world — always with our sister Cindy by our side. From those early days to the way she looked out for us like a protective older sister, Cindy has always been part of my life. As the years passed and we grew up, she have always been there. We teased her a lot and played like wild things, pushing boundaries the way children do. And when we went too far, she’d discipline us just like a baboon mother will do in the wild with their young — a sharp little bite to put us in our place. I remember moments when I cried with tears running down my face after some “discipline” from her, and she’d just sit there quietly, watching me with soft eyes full of concern. You could tell she felt sorry. And all of a sudden she would start grooming us which is her way of saying sorry. She have some incredible emotional intelligence. Now, Cindy is almost 31 years old. She’s blind. Slower. Quieter. And the roles have shifted — now it’s our turn to look after her. 🫶 It’s hard to put into words what it feels like to watch someone you’ve known your whole life grow old — especially when they can’t be with us as long as we wish. But this is the gift and the heartbreak of loving animals. ❤️ they don’t stay forever. So we love them harder, deeper, while they’re here. After all, Cindy isn’t just a baboon. She’s part of the family. We don’t know how much time we have left with Cindy. But I do know we’ll treasure every single second with her, giving her the best care we can. So here’s a little shouout and a ‘thank you’ for a lifetime of love, my Sister Cindy. 🥰♥️🐒 @ci_ndy1994 #cindy #namibia #animals #monkeysofinstagram #baboon
