Aloha

Just back from Hawaii and back into the Vegas heat. It was so great to be back in Hawaii and see all the kids, grandkids and my now 1 year old great grandson. I can't believe it has been a year already that I was holding Caleb at 3 month old...time goes so fast. My main reason for my trips to Hawaii is to celebrate Greg's birthday with his kids. Last year was sad and so hard when we were all together to spread is ashes and saying our final goodbyes. Lots and lots of tears and hugs that day. This year I wanted to change the mood of his birthday and our time together and start a new tradition. We all went back down to the same beach and took the flowers off leis and spread them in the ocean then we got in a big circle and held hands and sang at the top of our lungs "Happy Birthday" Yep this year there were still lots of tears and hugs but also there was also just a tiny bit of laughter too.
