A Journey of Love

On October 24, 2011 shortly after 5:00 pm (Hawaiian time) my dear Aunty Mary passed away due to cancer. Although I am extremely sad that she's gone and I will miss her terribly, I know where she is and am happy for her. Her life was one of hardships and sorrows (just like anyone's), but also, one of love, joy, and peace as well. She lived the Bible verse 1 Cor. 13:13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Everytime I saw her, she had a smile on her face, love in her heart, and faith in her soul. She and her sister (who's my Apo (Grandmother)) were always laughing each time they were together. Aunty Mary's love for everyone and anyone was contagious. It didn't matter who you were, what your story was, or what car you drove, she would accept you with the same amount of love that she showed to anyone else...and that was a lot. :)

I hope and pray that I will be able to follow in her footsteps.

I'll miss you and always love you Aunty Mary!
