connection with the dolphins

the most recent post on rosie.com
is about the dolphins in miami.
someone asked if she thought
that there was some sort of connection
like reincarnation.

i personally think that dolphins are pretty
and get a certain feeling when around them
but feel no extreme feeling or "connection"
but my daughter on the other hand does
and it just sort of clicked while i was reading
rosie's last post and watching the video.

i still dont know what it is but since kira was
about 2, there has been something with dolphins.
it started with her thinking that i liked dolphins
and every gift she has ever given me handmade or store bought
has had something to do with a dolphin

finally this year we asked her
very carefully as we did not want to hurt her
feelings or give her the idea that anything was not
appreciated, why she thought mommy liked dolphins so much.

she looked at us and with a face so much older than 7
said
i dont know, there's just something special about dolphins
and mommy is special like that to me too
so i always think of mommy when i see something
with a dolphin

i'm not sure that's what it is but thats what makes sence to her
so for now thats what it is

but i believe it is something inside HER
that makes HER feel good
maybe the same feeling rosie gets

at sea world this year,
taking her away from the dolphins was like pulling teeth
and she's not usually like that

at my moms house
three stories up
looking down into the ocean
"where are the dolphins?"
always

whatever it is
she gets it
