You need to watch this video. The whole thing. It’s absolutely amazing.
A young humpback whale was caught in some fishermen’s nets and these folks took on the task of freeing it.
You’ll need some tissues when you see what happened after the whale was freed.

Wow!
Many of you may remember when I posted the top picture of my friend’s sonogram a while ago. Well, she has since had the baby and the Snow’s are now in need of some help.
From TheHoneycomb.com:
Harrison was born on Nov. 1st, 2010 to Jeff and Susan Snow. He was a big and beautiful boy, weighing in at 8lbs, 9oz and 21” long. Immediately after his birth, Harrison began experiencing breathing difficulties. After a few hours in the hospital’s NICU, he was moved to a more comprehensive NICU facility, and diagnosed with a diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Four months, four hospitals, and five surgeries later, and they are still not home. Progress has been slow, but we are hopeful that with the latest addition of Harrison’s trach, he will be home soon.
But as you can imagine, the expense of being in and out of hospitals for four months must be an added stress to Jeff and Susan. The Snow family would never ask for this on their own…but they have SO many people who love them and want to help and do not know how. This kind gesture will hopefully give them some small amount of relief amidst this most difficult time. The family will forever be grateful for your generous heart.
I can’t even imagine what these two have been through, but I have been keeping up with their roller-coaster ride through Susan’s journal entries on CaringBridge.com. The ups and downs, the happy and broken-hearted moments of a mother on the verge of giving up. Then the moment she turns that corner and is fighting for him harder and with more passion than you could ever imagine. Their story is amazing and their journey will be even more so. If you can, please help out the Snows. A family that has given so much to this world in terms of their music abilities. (I could listen to Susan play the violin for days on end.) They would do anything for anyone, and it’s our turn to send karma back their way.
