We had quite a connection with Winter. Her prosthetic tail came from the same place in NH where my husband used to purchase his diabetic shoes.

When the movie came out, my husband and I went to watch it. It was the very first movie we saw together. The kindness that Winter showed was to all the disabled children there to show them that being disabled is not a weakness. He showed them they could do anything if they set their mind to it. Winter did not give up and they should not either. I love dolphins would love to ride with one but can only swim a little. If you every make a cross stitch pattern of Winter I would love to buy it and post it on the site you can auction it off to raise more money for Winter's fund.

I`ve always loved Winter ever since I saw her movie. She was definitely inspiring to me. One of my dreams was to see her in real life. I was really sad to find out she was dead. I`m really sorry to all those who loved her as much as I did.

I wanted to meet Winter but I never got around to it.  I saw Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale 2 and I loved her in them.

2018, Clearwater Marine Aquarium, the old part

I was there in 2018 , I had been down in the dumps for await, ( depression) just seeing Winter would help lift my spirits, I was walking around the the downstairs looking for the dolphins , I seen Winter just hanging out by a wall, I waved my hand 3 times and wait, wave 3 times and kept doing this , she came over and  looked at me with her smile then she showed me her tail.  that was the 7th  time I had seen her. ,just her doing that touched my heart. I went out and got a tattoo of Winter will I was in Florida. Winter and I sure some dates, Winter's birthday is Oct. 10,  my anniversary is Oct 9. The day Winter died is Nov 11,  my hubby and I met Nov10, and Nov 11 is Canada's Remembrance  Day. My best memories of Winter was when is  was a baby, and Clearwater was not crowded , I would make clicking noises and she would look our at me, that made me smile. Winter will forever live in my heart.

I always wanted to see winter, and in 2019 that came true, I was 8 and I remember hearing her little tweety-bird sounds and meeting Nicholas. I always dreamed of moving to Florida to work with her, I could never imagine her dying, it seemed impossible to me. I remember the morning after her death, it didn’t hit me right away that my baby girl was gone. I’ve cried countless times over her, and here I am, writing about her. There are so many people that loved her, the fact that there are so many sights dedicated to her doesn’t surprise me, but it proves how inspiring she truly was and how loved she is and will forever be. It really hurts to say these words, but Winter, you will be missed, I love you, and I will see you in Heaven, thank you for my childhood and everything you have given me, and most of all, thank you CMA for those wonderful 16 years with her.

i always dreamedof meeting winter. I loved watching the movies  over and over again. two nights ago i thought what would happen if winter died, today i came on to this sight to see how winters going. And hear for the first time that winter passed away, here i am in tears writing  this message.  🐬

-12 year old

Winter was the most inspirational creature encouraging everyone to be their best. Thank you Winter RIP you will always be remembered x💗
I loved watching winter play in the water and her having fun with her bubbles, I got to personally meet her, and it was the happiest/best day of my life. She was such a beautiful baby girl, lasting much longer then the odds. When my parents told me what I got to do, I couldn’t settle down I was so excited! May Winter Rest In Peace, and continue to inspire with her legacy as she did for me to get the courage to fight through my childhood. RIP Winter!

I never went to se her at the aquarium, but I really wish I could have. My mom told me the day I found out she was gone forever that we were planning to go see her as a gift for me, since I had always begged my parents to let me go see her after I watched the Dolphin Tale movies. I cried for hours after that. I was heartbroken. She was a beautiful dolphin and I never miss a moment to check on the other dolphins using the webcams. I watch them all the time, even when my teachers tell us no to be on our laptops. She was beautiful and I wrote a haiku about her last week for class. I wrote: 

Three fins, no tail

A beautiful dolphin

She will always be here

I really miss Winter, and I will never forget her. I love her so much.
