“Ma ke ʻano he makua kāne hoʻokahi, noʻu ka mea paʻakikī loa i ka wā i hoʻolaha ai lākou i ka pani ʻana o nā kula. Ua ʻike ʻole au i ke kōkua ʻole. ʻO kaʻu mālama hoʻokahi o kaʻu kaikamahine a ʻaʻohe aʻu mea e hoʻopuni mai iaʻu. Ua noʻonoʻo wau pehea wau e hana ai. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ua loaʻa koke iaʻu nā leka mai nā mākua solo ʻē aʻe, nā hoaaloha, nāna i ʻōlelo mai e hoʻonohonoho mākou iā mākou iho, e mālama mākou i kā mākou mau keiki no kekahi. A laila hiki koke mai ka hoʻolaha o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana.
ʻAʻole i ala hou ka nīnau: pono mākou e ʻimi i ko mākou ala e hana ai ma ka noho ʻana ma ka home. Laki loa wau: kūʻokoʻa loa kaʻu kaikamahine a makemake ʻo ia i ke kula. No laila i ke kakahiaka, komo mākou e ʻike i nā haʻawina home e hana ai a hana kaʻu kaikamahine i kāna hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana iā ia iho. Nīnau mai ʻo ia iaʻu i nā nīnau liʻiliʻi a hiki iaʻu ke hana pū. Ke makemake ʻo ia e kamaʻilio me aʻu a aia wau me kahi mea kūʻai aku (he kōkua notary wau) hōʻailona wau iā ia ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu a kali ʻo ia.
He ʻeleu kāna kumu: inā ʻaʻole hana ka pūnaewele, hāʻawi ʻo ia iā mākou i nā hoʻomaʻamaʻa ma facebook. ʻO ka manawa hope loa, hana ʻo ia i kahi ola me nā mea kani e hoʻokipa iā mākou! ʻOiaʻiʻo, lawe wau i koʻu pāpale iā ia! ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka mea paʻakikī ʻo ka ʻike ʻole ʻana i kā mākou mau hoaaloha, a mākou e hana pinepine ai i nā pāʻina a me nā ʻaina ahiahi. Hana mākou i nā kelepona wikiō, akā ʻaʻole like ia. Ke'ōlelo nei au iaʻu iho he laki mākou: noho mākou i loko o kahi hale me kahi māla nui, ma ke kua'āina, hiki iā mākou ke noho i kahi lumi, eʻoi aku ka paʻakikī. ʻO ka mea hopohopo iaʻu i kēia manawa inā lōʻihi ka laka ma mua o kēia kauwela. Ua hoʻohiki wau i kaʻu kaikamahine i kahi hoʻomaha hoʻomoana i ʻelua makahiki i hala, ke kakali nei ʻo ia! Manaʻo wau hiki iā mākou ke haʻalele. I ka hopena, ʻoiai mākou e hoʻokele nei i ka hana ʻoiai e noho ana ma ka home, loaʻa iaʻu ka manaʻo ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi mea liʻiliʻi i ka maikaʻi o ke ola! “
