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
