A Day on the Beach

9/22/2015

Aloha All,

Kauai was a beautiful place for us to begin healing the loss of my dear mother-in-law. We shed some tears but, had many happy moments as well. Here are a few photos...

We spent most of our afternoons on the beach in front of the condo. Pack a lunch, soak up some sunshine and let the hours pass...

Recent storms left a lot of driftwood...perfect for building forts! Lots of fun for the keiki!

My husband and son enjoyed fishing...

Caught one! For bait they used left overs from last night's dinner, bbq'd teriyaki chicken! :) The fact that the bait worked gave us a laugh! After we took his photo, we bid the little flounder a fond Aloha and released him back to his ocean home.

Thank you for reading the Coconut Diaries.

Aloha to you!

Aloha Friends,

I thought that I should share the reason for my absence from the diary. Shortly after my husband and I returned from our honeymoon in February my mother-in-law became ill. At first we thought it was just a cold and that she was tired from her recent travels. In April our fears were confirmed, she had cancer. She made it through a difficult surgery and we were hopeful for recovery. But, sadly that didn't happen. My sweet mother-in-law passed away August 25.

I really enjoy writing the coconut diary but, my heart was in another place. Life won't be the same with out her. Lola was quiet, but adventurous...never afraid of something new. She loved Kauai and we traveled often together. She was a nurse and was always willing to take care of someone. An awesome, fun, loving human being. She is missed.

Much aloha!
I'll post soon as we are back on Kauai.
Thanks for reading.
