Nicole Harvey is from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada where she lives with her dog Trixie. She enjoys writing poems and stories about her life. She'd like to offer support to newsletter readers who might need to talk about experiences similar to the one she describes in her story below.

     In 1992 my mother was diagnosed with cancer. All her life she'd had a dream of watching a family of dolphins swimming in the ocean.

     My mother and I went on a cruise in spring that year, sharing the silent under-standing that this would be her last trip. The first day on the ship my mom was sick with no energy or strength. With a heaviness in my heart, I wheeled Mother to the front of the ship and helped her to stand up so she could look over the edge at the water below. Suddenly, as if appearing out of a dream, a family of five dolphins began to swim alongside the ship. I thrilled to see my mother watching this sight with joy and peace in her eyes.

     Shortly after she saw the dolphins, Mom had to be rushed back to Canada by air ambulance. Although she was dying, God had brought my mom peace and fulfilled her lifelong wish when she needed it most. I believe the dolphins were angels, telling Mom that everything would be okay now, because God wanted her to come home.
