This past Saturday, Connor graduated from Kealakehe High School. It really hit me about 15 minutes before the above photo was taken that Connor was leaving home shortly. The family was graduating from an era.
The home will no doubt be a quieter place now. And, we will no doubt miss Connor. It will be interesting to see what the next year brings.
I am so incredibly blessed in my life, yet I so easily forget that fact when I get caught up in the worries and challenges of living in this physical world. It’s such an interesting thing, because it is that very sort of behavior that makes for more to worry about.
So, let me focus on the joys in my life. I am blessed with a dynamic, lovely family. Lynn is a phenomenal, beautiful force that keeps me in line and challenges my ego to let loose.
Taylor is a brilliant beam that commands whatever group she is in. She is beautiful in every way.
Connor leaves me struggling for the right words. When I gave the blessing at our party’s blessing for the food, I started out saying I was speechless. I then managed to ramble on a bit, but still felt inadequately verbally spent. Connor is an entity that constantly impresses me in a variety of ways. He has an incredible ability to comprehend complex systems, he can have phenomenal situational awareness, and also a unique, creative side that is a constant source of entertainment. Feel the fabric.
These people are my joy, inspiration, and challenge. I am fortunate beyond words in having them in my life!
