myDarlin & I were Livin' the Dream ever since we met. We have been blessed with a love for each other & Ohana that many only dream of. My hope is that my Gratitude Journal entries will help you to get to know this man who walked the walk better. #KeepLookingUp

Gratitude Journal – Day 54 – August 23, 2014
Tell her now…..
(click here to read Facebook comments)
We lived across the street for an entire year or so before we realized that there was a great Blues joint across the street. During one of our first couple of visits to Darwin’s, we met him, a wonderful entertainer who would become part of our Ohana on a permanent basis.
myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope played at Open Jams with him, we introduced so many of our friends to him and his band, myDarlin’ sat in with his band when they needed a bass player, we went to see him perform whenever the opportunity arose, he’s been to our parties, he came to visit Robert last year after his heart attack, and we were listening to him just moments before myDarlin’ went to be with the Lord.
He’s singing the song myDarlin’. I remember hearing him sing this so long ago – and smile when I hear it again because you told me every day. Such a simple concept makes such a difference in relationships. You knew how to make me feel so special and loved in every way, every day.
Tell her no matter how, just tell her now
Tell your lover, that you love her
Don’t take her for granted,
You have got to be romantic
Send her roses
So that she knows it
Don’t take her for granted
You have got to be romantic
Tell her, Tell her now
Tell her, Show her how
Tell her, No matter how, just tell her now
It’s been two months since you left, and I am listening to him singing this song, right here at Darwin’s. I close my eyes and see those gold lame’ curtains that hung on the back of the stage so many years ago, and feel your presence with me.
I am filled with gratitude as I reflect on the friendships that myDarlin’ and I made in the music community, and this evening for a very special friend, Larry. I know that Robert would want me to tell Larry, and so many others ‘Mahalo for your friendship and love.’
