Words do not come easy, but What are coming are from my soul. Winter IS here with each person Who inspired and NEVER give Up to your dreams no Matter What.  

     Happy Birthday, beauty Winter! 

I remember when I first saw Dolphin Tale in 2011. I loved dolphins from a young age and it was probably the first movie where I felt really close to the water, to the sea, to Winter. In 2011, I was 20 years old, with a lot of self-worth issues, and Winter's story made me realize... "What is my problem compared to someone else's?" NOTHING.

From then on, I visited your site every day, and thanks to Live Cam, I saw Winter. 

It was a program for me in the 2010's and it was a program under COVID when I watched on the split screen as you took care of her and she was happy with you.

I visited her every day for 11 years.

Unfortunately, Hungary is an amazing distance from Florida, but so was Winter in my home, at work, in my soul.

I don't know if it ever hurt so much to lose someone who was just an "animal", but for me she was a key to my development, my youth, my guaranteed happiness.

I will continue to visit the site, my adoration and love for her will NEVER cease, and I thank you with gratitude for the opportunity to have known her.

 I hope to be able to tell you all this in person one day.

I love you Winter.

With love,
