Still catching up on a couple months of life.

I have been dreading blogging because feelings get stirred up again and I realize that we are still in mourning of the passing of my husband's father. Luckily these pictures that I have digitally scrap booked are happy ones of family and good food so the hard part is yet to come in the next post.

We were very blessed to receive a package from Papa and Grandma Sheri several weeks before his passing. In the box were some Easter treats and a gift for Kanalu's 7th birthday which was about 3 weeks after the box arrived. We were in Hawaii during Kanalu's birthday so he opened his gifts at his Nani and Boomba's house. Luckily his gift from Piko and me was bought and wrapped before we left for Hawaii. Kanalu enjoyed his day with Nani and Boomba... had an ice cream cake and shrimp just like he wanted. He was very happy to get the drawing and reading books from Papa and Grandma... Mahalo to all for making his day a great one!

A week after the box came from Papa and Grandma Sheri another box arrived from Kaua'i but it was from Tutu Papa and Tutu Malia. They had sent Keiko a belated birthday gift. She so loves this little table. It makes her feel like a big girl because she can do her "school work" while sitting at it.

The day after Kulani, Josi, Lynea and I arrived on Kauai we ran a bunch of errands to find out what was going to happen for Piko and Kulani's daddy's memorial. After we were done we were hungry of course so we went to our favorite place to eat saimin... HAMURA'S.

There was a lot of stress and grief weighing us down so we decided to go to the beach at Salt Pond the next day. The water was cold but the sand was nice and warm so naturally Lynea would enjoy playing in the sand more than the water.

My testimony of prayer has been strengthened throughout this trial of my father-in-law's passing. I know that God hears and answers my prayers because He has done so so many times as we needed Him during our time of mourning. I know that Jesus is the Christ and that He is the Son of The Living God and that through His atoning sacrifice we all will live again. Things of the world will turn to dust but this testimony that I have is ever lasting and no one can take it away from me, however, I can share it with you... what a wonderful thing a testimony is!

May the Lord bless you all with your righteous desires!
