Kino Kealohalani Burkley - 7/13/2012 - 7/16/2024

My precious Kino made his transition on July 16, 2024.  It was 3 days after his 12th birthday. 

Currently, my feelings are too raw and I find it nearly impossible to write a post that truly honors my sweet boy. I will add to this post when I am able to. 

For now, I just wanted to share the news, as I know a lot of you know we have been trying to heal his cancer since last August. About 5 years ago, we were able to do it - this time we just couldn't - no matter how much we tried.

I am grateful for all the years I had with Kino. I learned so much from him and he completely won my heart over. Regardless of how rocky our start was, it was so worth it to have him as my partner in life.

I miss him more than I can express right now. Please hold us both in your hearts if you feel so inspired.
