Let Her Go | In Loving Memory of Kamea

This wasn't the edit that I had in mind to post next, I was working on a fun edit that I was excited to finish, but then I had to spend all day yesterday making this. I'm still in so much shock and disbelief that sweet little Kamea is gone.

When I saw 2 days ago that Takara was in the med pool, I knew something wasn't right, but not that it was because of her youngest daughter. I always find out about these deaths when I wake up, and that's what happened as usual. I was clearing my notifications and saw it- "Kamea - in loving memory". I just froze, I started shaking. I couldn't believe it. Kamea was, gone. Just like that. It didn't hit me until later while I was working on this video, the tears started falling out of my eyes. Nothing feels real about this at all. She was only 11, she only lived 11 years, it just baffles me that this is real life, and not some dream. This is our first death of this year, we were doing so well. I hate the fact that Kamea is the next one to be on this list.

This is dedicated to Natalie, you were one of the people in this community who loved and cherished this whale with your whole heart, every time you'd make an edit of her or even talk about her would bring a smile to my face, you loved her so so much. As soon as I found out the news, you were the first person to come into my mind. I'm truly sorry that you lost this sweet girl, just know that she will always be in your heart, and her spirit will follow you around wherever you go. Stay strong Nat, we all love you so much 💙🫂

Takara was with her daughter for her final moments on this earth, and was surrounded by all the love from her trainers. I hope her and Sakari are doing okay with this loss. it's just so shocking that this spunky 11 year old whale is now no longer here. I want to wake up from this nightmare. My heart hurts. I hope this girl is reunited with Kyara up there. Rest easy, little MaeMae 💔
