E noi i nā manaʻo
ʻAʻohe hewa i ka nīnau ʻana i nā mākua o ke keiki no nā manaʻo e pili ana i kā lākou keiki makemake. I hoʻokahi makahiki, ua aʻo au he makemake nui kekahi o kaʻu keiki i ka pāʻani keʻena, no laila ua kūʻai mākou i nā lako keʻena no kona lā hānau. Ua aloha ʻo ia iā lākou, a ʻaʻole loa wau i noʻonoʻo i kahi makana maʻamau me ka nīnau ʻole ʻana i kona makuahine.
E hele i ke kāleka makana

Me ka leʻaleʻa, he hoʻonaʻauao lākou a kōkua i ke kūkulu ʻana i ka manaʻo ponoʻī.
Me ka hoʻolālā liʻiliʻi ma mua a me ka noʻonoʻo noʻonoʻo, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e makaʻu i ka kono ʻahaʻaina lā hānau e hiki mai ana ma ka leka uila!
Hoʻokahi pule a ʻelua paha ka lā hānau o kaʻu keiki. A e hele ana mākou i koʻu mau kupuna wahine (i hope) no ka mea, ʻaʻohe mea ma ʻaneʻi e launa pū me. Aia koʻu ʻohana a pau ma laila. Akā ʻo kēia ka pilikia pololei aʻu e loaʻa nei. Mahalo no ka ʻatikala.
