Okole announcing, “Nana’s coming!”
I have fond memories of growing up in Palolo Valley. Papa was an avid fisherman. We had fresh fish, opihi, crab, oysters, limu & more. Nana made awesome desserts like choc chip marshmallow choc cake, pineapple upside down cake, or key lime pie.
We spent much of the summer months & weekends at Kuhio Beach. We were just kids with our homemade paipo boards & towel, walking 3.5 miles to the beach. Sometimes, Papa would drop us off, before work, & pick us up, after. Other times, Papa would return home to pickup Nana & the meal she had prepared for us. We’d end a beautiful day, with a picnic at the beach, or Kapiolani Park.
Legacy Hospice provided nana with an RN, nurse’s aide, social worker, pastor & all her supplies.
On one of those visits, Amanda, the social worker,
said she would be leaving soon. Nana replied, “Dont hurry back!” Sierra, the RN, Amanda & I looked at each other & busted out laughing, knowing that she didnt mean, exactly, the way it sounded. May God bless the staff of Legacy Hospice.
