Once again I will be moving to the island of Maui for work, and though I’ve been preparing for the past three months, it’s finally beginning to sting. I will be traveling alone; without Lilinoe, Chelsea or Jayden and the reality of not having them nearby is piercing. For more than two years, Lilinoe and I have spent time with each other everyday, even if for a few hours before we reached the recent milestone of “living together.” As I described in previous posts, she’s wonderful…our souls have fused. Chelsea is growing into a strong, independent, determined young lady and it’s my privilege to witness her life. And, Jayden has already attempted to pack his bags!
We shall take advantage of all of the technology available to continue to communicate frequently, and have already booked flights for them to visit often. 
I look forward to rediscovering Maui, a sanctuary of mine and our traditional destination to welcome in the new year. I have the opportunity to spend time with my sister and her family, focusing on building a better relationship with her children, especially my niece Taimane. The overall move to Maui is positive, except of course without my family.
