I would like you all to know that I really appreciated all of your responses to my posts. Although I only joined this site a week before my dad passed away, it helped so much to know that there was a big family all over who understood what we were going through and took the time to send hugs and aloha our way.
Today is a week since dad left — there were some sleepless nights that never seemed to end and days that seemed to pass in a flash as we attend to all the big and little details for his up-coming service — I know that that will be only step in the whole process of grieving and there is still a long way to go — so I will be back to visit in the days to come.
The word “aloha” can mean hello and welcome. It can be used to say “farewell” and lastly, “love” — so with much aloha, Karen
