I'm lost for words...
Ik kan er niet over schrijven.
Yet words are all I have.
Ik kan er niet niet over schrijven.
What else can I do to help him?
Ik weet het niet, ik weet het echt niet...

ail Hello,
I wanted to send you a little mail to thank you for recording "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas." My son (almost 12) has Cancer (Osteosarcoma) and he has a little stuffed hippo that has become very important during the long treatment.
We play your version of "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" every time we celebrate something. For instance: we've just had the news that he can go home from the hospital for the weekend. On such an occasion I play the song on my portable computer and my son lets his stuffed hippo dance to it. He can't use his left leg due to the Cancer, so he lets his hippo do all the things he can't do anymore.
This is just a little mail from a father, a son and his hippo to tell you that we are fans!
Thanks again,
Bruno, Inigo and Brul

Bruno,
Thank you so much for your message. Your email and blog entry were very touching. It is very nice to know that something we did for fun has now taken on so much meaning in your lives.
One of the first thoughts that entered my mind after reading the blog entry was that there may be a way to get Inigo a hippopotamus for Christmas. I know many zoo's in the United States have adoption or sponsorship programs to help fund the care of animals. For a donation that goes towards feeding and taking care of an animal, the zoo will send a picture and information about the animals they are adopting or sponsoring. I would imagine that it may be a possibility at a zoo near you as well. If possible, myself and my friends in the "band" would like to find a way to make this happen.
Please let me know what you think of the idea. Again, thank you for your email. My best wishes to you and your family. I hope Inigo has a quick recovery.
Sincerely,
Erik J. Koppin
