Inspiration…
where does it come from? How do you decide what to write about every day? Oh, that’s easy I replied. All I have to do is to look back at a photograph or at a note that I took during the day when a memory or thought hits me. Speaking of something hitting me, ‘How’d you like a Hawaiian punch?’ That just came out of nowhere…. or did it? myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope loved his Hawaiian punch t-shirt before March 4th, but even more afterwards as it was one of the very soft shirts against his healing wound.
The letters on many of the keys of the laptop are almost gone, and even though I cannot see them anymore I know that they are still there. And it reminds me that even though you are not here with me tonight or tomorrow, you are always with me. I take a deep breath that goes past my lungs and into my heart. You fill it with love, and as tempting as it is to keep it all to myself, I exhale and your Aloha flows back into the atmosphere myDarlin’. For when you walked with us and now as you now walk with our Lord, you do not ‘belong’ to anyone – but to everyone.
I think about what I am grateful for today and so many things come to me; time with my sister, my friends, my Ohana. And most of all today, as I look up to the heavens, I am grateful that your memory is like the soft shirt against our healing wound of missing you.
