Love...

This morning my beautiful sister Nalani departed this Earthly Realm to join the ancestors. Her Spirit was incredibly strong as she fought to survive the slow creeping blanket of Death which sought to cruelly destroy her physical being. She suffered in Life and her Journey Home was equally arduous and difficult. To watch her dwindle away, in pain, and yet struggle to graciously smile to every visitor to her room, with the genuine kindness in her heart, was truly profound.

She constantly sought forgiveness, and was always apologetic, for the perceived burden and inconvenience she placed on everyone for her care in her final days. A profoundly beautiful statement of who she truly was. Yet, she was gracious to forgive those who profoundly hurt her, while expressing her Love for them as well, as they bravely visited her to say goodbye and seek Redemption. Our beautiful Mother, Grandmother and Grandfather came to retrieve her. Giving her messages for all of us about their undying Love for us all. Our incredibly Mother, bringing her three children together, one last time, to bond in unconditional Love.

So with the loving gifts of beautiful friends, the help of Archangel Michael, in his beautiful Heavenly and Earthly forms, was summoned, and the songs of Love were sung to her daily. Archangel Chamuel provided her adoring Peace and Angel Hadraniel provided Love. Nalani was encased in a protective bubble of God's Beautiful Healing Loving Light to overcome the fear and intruding darkness.

And as the rains of Hilo fell, the tears of Wākea cleansed the land, and a single thunder clap echoed across the plains of Keawemauhili as birds noisily gathered outside of her hospice room. A solitary 'Io, or Hawaiian Hawk, soared above her room, aloft on the updrafts of Nā Lani, the Heavens, as Nalani's Beautiful Soul departed this Earth, and into the waiting loving embrace of our Mother. The struggle is finally over. The transgressions forgiven. The fears and pain salved.

I know the darkness of this Night will pierce the recesses of my heart and the tears will continue to fall as I dream of her. Finding comfort however in knowing that tomorrow's dawning of a new day will be more beautiful. As Heaven above shines a little more brighter with her Loving Smile amongst the ever-present array of Starlight. I Miss You Already. I Love You. Love You Always...
