MY HAWAI'I TRIP - 07 - MY FINAL DAY WITH MY KAHEALANI... :(

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

 

LIKE MY DAD ALWAYS SAYS...  "ALL THINGS MUST COME TO AN END".

 

AND INDEED THAT DAY HAS COME AS IT HAS NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST 5 YEARS FOR ME.

 

I DON'T KNOW HOW I AM ABLE TO ENDURE IT AND HOW MUCH MORE CAN I TAKE BUT I STILL PICK MYSELF UP EVERYDAY TO FIGHT ON.

 

MY BEAUTIFUL AND PRECIOUS KAHEALANI...

 

 

THIS VERY PICTURE ABOVE HAS ALOT OF MEANING AND FEELINGS, FOR SOME REASON I FELT SO CONNECTED WITH HER AND I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE HER, AND IF I DID, I FELT LIKE MY SPIRIT WAS DYING AND DRIFTING AWAY FOREVER.  AS PARENTS, NO ONE WANTS TO EVER BE SEPARATED FROM THEIR CHILDREN FOR ANY REASONS.  BUT IN MY CASE, I'M A SINGLE PARENT WHO LIVES 5000 MILES AWAY FROM MY KAHEALANI AND ONLY WANTS THE BEST FOR HER WHICH IS WHY SHE WAS SENT TO HAWAI'I FOR A BETTER CHANCE OF LIVING AND LEARNING TO SUCCEED IN ANYTHING SHE DECIDES TO BE.

 

MY ULTIMATE SACRIFICE... 

 

I KNOW ITS NOTHING CLOSE LIKE "CHRIST" DYING ON THE CROSS FOR ALL OF OUR SINS,

 

BUT AS A HUMAN BEING, THIS IS "MY ULTIMATE SACRIFICE".

 

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO'S BEEN THERE FOR ME, YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE VERY APPRECIATED...  ALWAYS AND FOREVER.

 

AWWWRITE!!!

 

WAIPA

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL DAY BUT A VERY HOT ONE TOO...  IF YOU ASK ME, I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD WALK 3-4 MILES IN THAT HEAT, MAYBE ITS JUST ME AND I LIVED IN ALASKA TOO LONG...  LOL!!!

THE KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOL BAND!!!

 

 

 

 

KAHEALANI...  PLAYING THE FLUTE!!!

 

 

ALTHOUGH IT WAS SHORT AND FAST BECAUSE THEY KEPT MARCHING FORWARD, IT WAS STILL THE BEST PART OF THE PARADE. 

 

WE LOVE YOU KAHEALANI AND WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!

 

 

AFTER OVER 2 HOURS OF PARADE FUN, IT WAS TIME FOR SOME OHANA QUALITY TIME!!!

 

 

SHIRLEY, KAHEALANI, AND I FINALLY GOT TO HANG OUT ALL AT ONCE AND ENJOY OURSELVES AS A FAMILY.  IT IS A VERY RARE OCCASION FOR ALL OF US BECAUSE WE ALL LIVE IN SEPARATE AREAS, BUT NO MATTER WHAT, WHERE, OR WHEN...  WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, KAHEALANI...  ALWAYS & FOREVER!!!

 

WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU AND HOW FAR YOU'VE COME!!!

 

ON ANOTHER NOTE, TONIGHT IS ALSO ANOTHER MERRIE MONARCH COMPETITON NIGHT AND ALSO THE FINAL NIGHT.
