What an interesting and well-presented post, Mama_Bear!
They are indeed deserving of recognition and our accolades, added to the ranks of K-9s and others who assist man for a variety of purposes - not to be confused with 'porpoises,' segueing into a touching story here..:))

A dear friend of mine lost her husband two years ago under tragic circumstances.
Honoring his wishes to have his ashes scattered in the Atlantic Ocean from a favorite fishing pier near Beaufort, SC, on Hunting Island, one day a group of loved ones and friends made the journey for that reason.

Dreading the moment, Jan stood at the end of the pier, hesitating - and suddenly a school of seven porpoises leaped from the water right in front of them!

To all, it seemed as if the Lord had sent them as His escorts for the Journey Home for the beloved.

A powerful demonstration of God's loving touches, providing the comfort that enabled her to let him go - - -

LOL!!! You are so funny! :-)

This made me tear up.

You are right...A powerful demonstration of God's loving touches, and His loving touches are all around us, if we look. :-)

Wow. That was certainly a powerful message, ((((((LadyX))))))

.45MAN and I visited Beaufort in Oct. 2001 (weeks after 9-11) and stayed at the Rhett House B&B. It was absolutely lovely. We climbed Hunting Island lighthouse, as well. I can picture the setting of your beautiful story.
