Missing You...

As I was waiting to catch my flight to Kaua'i early in the morning yesterday, I saw a little boy carrying his little suitcase. He was clutching a Chicken Little doll complete with glasses. And playing a Nintendo DS. From a distance, he looked like Elliott. I unexpectedly had tears well up in my eyes for moment as I thought about leaving him at home as he gave me a sleepy good morning hug and told me he loved me. The wave of emotion caught me off guard. I knew I would be gone for the whole day on another island. Separation can be a little uncomfortable not being right here should something have happened where he or Koa truly needed me right away. I try not to worry too much but it is amazing how much you can miss someone in such a short time. Love is so powerful. It can easily overpower me. Unless I continue to learn how to harness such power and use it for positive change in not only my life and the lives of my loved ones. But for Hawai`i and the rest of the world...
