Carolyn: I am sending this to you in case it doesn't go through for me from here at work, if they don't get it, I ask that you please pass it on to them for me. They are all in my thoughts and prayers every day. Thanks.
Good Mornin' Amanda & Chris. I am Jan Aylor, Kenney's mom. As I read this piece this morning - I thought of how your "little Nathan" could very well be the whale in this story (also one of God's creations) and his doctors and nurses are his rescuers and one day he too will be able to thank each one of them with a little nudge or hug or a stare from his beautiful little eyes. Keep your faith. I have a lot of people praying for him. I believe in both the power of prayer and miracles.
The Whale
If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines.
She 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 Farralone Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group 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.
She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushing them gently around-she thanked 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 blessed and 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.
I pass this on to you, my friend, in the same spirit.
