Rosa- Thank you for the beautiful words about Dad! It is really amazing that it has been 16 years! What a fantastic Dad and man he was to still make us all miss him so dearly! I agree we all need to slow down and enjoy this season it is too easy to get overwhelmed! PS.. Dad's parking angel worked fabulously at Ala Moana yesterday too!!! Thanks Dad!

Rosa-that is the best story I read in a long time. I've read a bunch of those "Chicken Soup for the Soul books" and you should send this one in because it is right in there. We were so lucky to have the best Dad in the world and the inspiration for all of us to attempt his greatness. We are lucky to have you our own resident author and family historian. Love you and thanks for sharing the truth.

Wow Becca, you braved Ala Moana!?! Dad was with you for sure.
Jeff, Becca helped with converting my wedding picture to a digital form for this; I’ll write if you will all help me with the other stuff for the complete richness of our family volumes!

"loving and relishing every day that is left in this wonder filled month..." that is exactly what I am planning to do - but I did need that gentle reminder :)
I love this post, and remember reading the story of your father and the Shopping Angel (was it?) last year... it moved me then, and it still moves me today. Thank you for sharing this beautiful story, and showing us all that there is so much more to our lives than work.. that we need to integrate the beauty, joy and love that is all around us and pay attention to the guardian angels sitting on our shoulder.
Your father lives on through you and your family. He must be overjoyed with the love you generate.

Thank you Karen for sharing your aloha with me and my 'ohana so generously in your comment; you too have become an angel's grace to me in the time I have come to know your beautiful heart.
Aloha kaua e,
Rosa

16 years!? has it been that long? thank you so much for reminding me that ALL of us will hold the days around the 6th with the same thoughts. like you, as the day approaches, it seems dad pops into my head over and over again, as if to help me give pause to the everyday things, and to really stop and enjoy life, the season, family, and friends. come to think of it, your description of an angel is perfect. thanks sis. love to all

Oh Rosa, you've made me cry! I also feel like I've just experienced Christmas on May/Lei Day :-)
Daddies are such special beings, aren't they? They have the ability to make us feel special, feel safe, feel cherished. I think it's so lovely that you continue to celebrate your father's generous and giving spirit, remembering the way he touched your lives, and indeed, how he continues to do so.
Thank you so much for sharing this, even though I'm over a year late in finding it.
