Made me think

I got this e-mail fwd from my Dad and it made me think of my cousin and what she is going through right now, I would like to share it....

Subject: Great Whale Story

 

A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab

traps and lines.

 

The whale was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused

her to struggle to stay afloat.

She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body,

her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth.

 

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the

Golden Gate in San Francisco) and radioed for help.

Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was

so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her; a

very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.

 

They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.

 

When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous

circles.

 

The whale then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged

them, and pushed gently, thanking them.

 

Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their

lives.

 

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following

him the whole time, and he will never be the same.....

 

May you, and all those you love, be so fortunate... to be surrounded by

people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding

you. And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving

gratitude.

We are here for you Kate...and all the tangles you may encounter on the way to your healing. Love you so much!
