Ephemeral Life...

On my July 2012 Deathbed, I regretted not spending more time with my sons, and spending way too much time at work, seemingly thinking that I needed to give everything I could for the L ā hui, even at personal expense. After 20 years...I have learned to balance my Life now. I put family first. I am making up for lost time as well with my sons having missed much of their childhood for the sake of my work kuleana. I am Blessed beyond belief to have a second chance, otherwise I would have been an unhappy wandering Spirit who refused to Ascend. It makes perfect sense however. Without a strong family...you may as well forget about L ā hui. Hawai'i has many Patriots. My sons only have one Father...
