"Our truest nature is to help others, and to protect and love them. We care about others, and delight in seeing others happy and safe."
~ Bryant McGill
"I'm so happy for you!" one mermaid said to the other.
That was part of a conversation I overheard between two mermaids -- or two girls, which is what most people would think. Unless you have seen them swimming with their big tails swishing through the water behind them and then it would be hard to say that they are not mermaids.
But let's call them girls. These two are not the same age and don't go to the same school. They do live close to each other, but when I overheard their telephone call, they were in different states as one was on vacation. What they do share is a fascination with mermaids.
One of the girls called the other to let her know that her mermaid tail had arrived. The other one had gotten hers a couple of weeks before.
It truly amazed me to hear the joy that both expressed. The one who called was thrilled to share the news that her mermaid tale had arrived, and the other could not stop telling her friend how happy she was for her.
