You swam and jumped
before our eyes
on the giant screen.
We all fell in love with you,
Willy.

The fjords were to be
your long-term home, Keiko.
But something went wrong yesterday,
and you beached yourself and died
from pneumonia,
as both children and grownups
'round the world cried
a final goodbye.

You are now FREE, Willy
to splash in the big blue sky.

I heard that too, Kacy...
and it's amazing how much of our lives
seems to be dwindling...

I must turn myself towards
that which is new.

Very timely, thank you!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Kacy, I was a little boy when I first saw "Free Willy" in theatres, and I fell in love with the whale sooooo much, yet it made me sad that though he was free in the movies, he wasn't really to roam in his ocean where his home is! (wipes tears) Now Willy truly is free to swim in his ocean in heaven, never again to be harmed along with his many brothers and sisters!

God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thanking each of you for sharing a goodbye to Willy.

I've seen those beautiful Orcas up close, and saw that movie at least ten times.
