Ua hāpai au, ma ke kahaha, hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o ka hālāwai ʻana me Cédric. Ua pau kaʻu hana a ua kipaku ʻia au mai ka hale o koʻu makuahine. Noho au me nā mākua o kaʻu hoaaloha i kēlā manawa.
Loaʻa iaʻu nā pilikia puʻupaʻa koʻikoʻi, ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo e hiki iaʻu ke hāpai i kēia hāpai ʻana a hiki i ka manawa. Ua hele au e ʻike i kahi urologist nāna i hōʻoia mai iaʻu ua palekana. No laila ua hoʻoholo wau e mālama i ka pēpē. ʻAʻole kūʻē ʻo Cedric iā ia, akā nui kona makaʻu.
Ma waena o ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi keʻena, nā hopohopo i kēlā me kēia lā… ua manaʻo mākou ua wikiwiki nā mea āpau. Akā i ko mākou hoʻokipa ʻana iā Lorenzo, ua loli nā mea a pau.
ʻAʻole maʻalahi kā mākou keiki liʻiliʻi i ke ola a ua ʻike mākou i nā kala āpau. ʻOiai nā mea āpau, ʻaʻole mākou e mihi i kā mākou koho a makemake i kahi kekona liʻiliʻi (a ʻoi aku paha…).
Ua aʻo maikaʻi ʻia ʻo Lorenzo a ua loaʻa iā ia kahi ʻano ʻano. Hauʻoli ʻo ia a hoʻokō. ʻO mākou, ma ke ʻano he makua, ua hoʻokō ʻia mākou, a, ma ke ʻano he kāne, makemake mākou e hui pū e mālama i kā mākou pilina.
Ke ʻakaʻaka mau nei au ʻoiai, ke hele au me kaʻu keiki, manaʻo pinepine ka poʻe ʻo wau kāna kahu a hiki ke kaumaha nā maka (no ka mea, ʻoi aku koʻu ʻōpio ma mua o koʻu mau makahiki).
ʻO kā mākou hoʻoholo na ko mākou naʻau. Ua hoʻokuke aku mākou i waho o ko mākou ola i ka poʻe i ʻae ʻole iā ia - a aia! Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻaʻole mākou e nīnau i kekahi mea koe wale nō ko mākou mau mākua, nāna mākou e kōkua i kēlā me kēia manawa. Ua hauʻoli lākou i ka lilo ʻana i mau kupuna, ʻoiai ua lawe lākou i kahi "puʻi o ka wā kahiko" e like me kā lākou e ʻōlelo nei.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole like kā mākou ʻike i ke ola me ka poʻe i hānau keiki lohi. Akā, no kou 30-35 mau makahiki, ʻaʻole ia he mau mākua maikaʻi ʻoe. ʻAʻole hana ka makahiki, hana ke aloha i nā mea āpau!
