For the Love of Dolphins




Last weekend i had the privilege to meet some of the loveliest animals on the planet.
my friend Tazzie and i went to the dolphinarium and joined a special program to spend some time in the water with the dolphins. This experience was given to me by friends from the church i attend, because they wanted to give me something special to let me know they love me and to help me find the courage and strength to keep on fighting the battle i’ve been fighting for some time now.
To be honest, i was hesitant about accepting this amazing gift. Am i worth something so amazing? i simply don’t get why people would put in so much love and effort to show me they care about me.
But, who can say no to such a special gift? i defied my own thoughts and accepted this gift. Saturday September 19th was the perfect day for making a huge wish come true!

It took me some time to write about this day. my thoughts and feelings were many, but there were no words to describe the incredible experience i had. Dolphins are amazing and Naomi & Maaike were so cute, and full of love and life – how was i to put that into words?
i desperately wanted to, though, since this was a gift and i wanted to let others share in the amazement of the moment. There’s not really much i can say about it though. The whole experience was amazing, incredible and full of the love and sweetness of the dolphins. For a period of time i was no longer me, but was filled with all the love and cuteness the dolphins radiated.  In the presence of the dolphins there was no room to feel dead inside. There was only their happiness, their ability to love and accept me for who they believed i was. They had a joy over them and they could not keep it to themselves ;-) Their playful way of interacting with me and the other participants of the program - it was entertaining to be part of it!!


Hereby i want to thank the anonymous and known givers of this amazing day!
And thank you Tazzie for enjoying this special day with me. i love how we can make this a shared moment and add this day to our precious moments together <3
