Aloha mai kākou! It's been 8 years since my keiki's ('Ama'u 16, Aolani 14, Umi 12) mother, Kyoko Juan, passed away due to cervical cancer. We are amongst the thousands' of 'ohana affected by cancer. Death reminds us that life is ephemeral and precious.
Aolani (cheeeee!) will also be in the wa'a paddling, in memory of her mother.
Love and take care of those who love and take care of you. Stay humble and kind, and count thy blessings everyday. Me ke aloha mau!
