Happy Mothers Day.....

WE were so close there was not one thing we did not know about each other. We drove my father crazy, talking on the phone for hours 3 times a day, for 30 plus years! He'd say , 'Take 2 aspirin and go back to bed!". Her spirit was so strong that even her passing HAS NOT diminished our closeness. I feel her many times out there in the water with me. She would LOVE these pictures! Because I knew her so well i know that she would want you to know...


Her and my father had a plan..... it came to pass...


Her and my father had a vision....i am still a work in progress...



Her and my father their whole being, the reason they lived, was for the Lord Jesus Christ....



I cannot mention my love for my mother without mentioning her Love for God. As long as i can remember, my parents Bibles were always together. One on top of the other ready in a flash for them to grab and use.


They still sit this way in MY home today.... may I, my moms daughter, remember what we had, cherish what only her and I knew, and may I strive to live for the Lord...





Happy Mother Day my friends..because you love me... my mother would of loved each of you!

I've been away at a tourism exhibition for the 4th Mother's Day in a row, but organised for the kids to do "breakfast" in bed. They are still small so its nothing elaborate, but its the thought that counts. I hope that one day my kids would have the type of relationship with me and my wife as you had with your mom.

Returning Home

It is time for me to return to the North Shore full time. It is at Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu, that I sit and wait for the tell tale ripples of water that signal the DOLPINS have arrived! The water calming down from the massive winter waves that just a few weeks ago pounded this side of the island, i return to her shores full time with glee! I will be subjected to the teasing of the regulars at the Bay who jokingly say, "Wheres the dolphins, Lani?" I always say in my mind, "There are far worse places I would need to wait!" LOLOL. This weekend the Bay gave a sneak performance of how magnificent her waters will be! Clear beautiful water, clean beautiful sand, the sun creating stain glass window like patterns on the sandy sea floor. And if that isn't enough the days of spring and summer on the North shore of Oahu, end with sunsets that are just magic!
