Memorial Day- Weekend

Our Memorial day started early this year, we went to Grandpa Akana's grave in Kaneohe, and Papa Akana's grave in La'ie. My mom and I have a tag along grave assistant, he's been at the grave since he was one. You'll see him in the picture when we are cleaning the grave. It was nice to see that at both graves a surprise visitor thought of honoring my grandpa and dad. We didn't take a picture of grandpa's and don't know who left the fresh rose, but at dad's we found out Uncle Norm T. placed beautiful flowers on the grave. Mahalo to all those that are thinking about my dad at this time and the legacy he left behind for his family. Now it's time for us to cheerish our small family here on this earth.

Almost half the year gone by...my first post of the year!
