Copenhagen, Denmark |
| Copenhagen is home to the little mermaid. The little mermaid had long ago captured my heart as a child. Being a lover of fairy tales it's not hard to imagine that I wanted the perfect love in my life. The perfect dream to come true, the life of fantasy to be mine. So while in search of the little mermaid I felt I had so much at stake, if I could find the little mermaid could I then also find a love that is so pure that they would be willing to leave their home as I would and love me back with the same intensity I needed and was willing to give in return? Time would only tell as once upon a time.... |

This fountain in the palace square proved to be the entrance to a level that would soon lead us around to visit the Little Mermaid. I had heard so often are you certain you want to see her I hope you won't be disappointed, she isn't very big. The answer was yes I want to see her. | |
| So Jens and Brian headed up the search. When Jan knew that I'd be spotting her soon he hung to the back and asked me if I saw her yet. Placing my hand in his I promised him he would be the first to know when I saw her... I gripped his hand | |
When I saw her over the water... straining my eyes as I tried to focus thru the tears and sprinkles of rain. I looked at Jan and he knew I saw the small statue with the large heart that I had been waiting to see. With her back to the sea gazing towards land. She was everything I hoped for. |

My legs couldn't carry me fast enough around to the side of the water where I could have a better picture. I simply sat and took picture after picture, looking at her and feeling that I understood that same helplessness in my life. I wanted to look at her forever but of course that wouldn't be possible. My friends wanted to get a picture of me with her but I couldn't stand there I felt that it was her special place and I had yet to find mine. Was she worth the walking and the rain... without hesitation yes. Looking at a childhood dream has no comparison. The heart doesn't measure in inches and if it did she would be such a large statue that her simple beauty would be lost. | |
| Once again as night fell I wondered if the magic of Denmark was something I would be able to take with me. Looking over the trees to the stars in heaven I wished that life could be like this everyday for me, I wished that I could find someone that truly loved me, I wished that my life could have a happy ending... I wanted the happily ever after... A silent tear broke the quietness as it burned down my cheek... somewhere out there I would find my true love I promised myself. A heart so full of passion couldn't be ignored forever.... |  |
