Lovely to get your blog and hear about your travels. I will seek you out at the Congress and finally meet up. Dolphins are very special and now you have been singled out so are you. I am yet to get "up close and personal" with them. Have seen them at Seaworld but it is not the same as in the wild. I feel your pain with your friend. I have a friend whom I met nearly 6 years ago at a Support Group. She is the first lady that I have known to have ovarian cancer. We did an Art Workshop together that went for 8 weeks and finished with an exhibition. We then went on and set up our Dragonboat club. This lady is such a talented lady who is a tailoress who can put her hands to anything. She is now very ill as the chemo is not working for her. She is still amazing those around her with her courage - I am in such awe of her in her final leg of her journey. As she puts it "I am on a fast trip into heaven". I will continue to visit her on a weekly basis until there is no more weeks. Unfortunately she is unable to go home to pass away as there is so much intervention happening for her comfort. I will also pray for your friend. XLeonie
