This is a great story.   A female humpback whale 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 Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate ) 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.  She 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. I pass this on to you, my friend, in the same spirit   Hugs Life is short ...forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly,  laugh uncontrollably...   and never regret anything that made you smile
