Rest in peace, Earth

I loved calling him everyone's favorite boy, because that's how it felt, it made me happy that one japanese whale was standing out for so many people, making everyone agree on how unique he was, he looked, and something we couldn't name, but we all felt.

Such a special being that his existence warmed Lynn's heart ; little unbothered, unimpressed girl. How lucky we've been to witness such a strong bond, the funniest, sweetest, most energetic duo. In a way, I should call Earth the second whale of my life, just because he was the other half of the one who means the most to me.

It still feels like yesterday that Earth was just a little boy, wavy dorsal and small clover on the chin. I'd give anything to go back there. To see my favorite pod of 3, reunited again. I realize my immense privilege to have met him, I know it was a dream or a wish of so many. Just know that Earth was as beautiful, as impressive, as kind, as tardy as he seemed to be ❤️

Goodbye Prince of the Earth, watch over her, swims peacefully along with your father that you loved so much, nobody will never forget you ❤️


For one who claimed to not see his beauty, I sure miss this sweet face a lot already.

Dedicated to my love, you've been as amazing to him as he's been to you. He will always be a part of you. Stay Strong
