Inā hoʻokahi lā o ka makahiki ma ke ʻano he mau mākua, pono mākou e hoʻomaha a lawe i hoʻokahi manawa a ʻelua paha e mahalo i nā mea liʻiliʻi o ke ola, ʻo ia ka lā Valentine. Ma nā pōhaku, ʻōlelo wau i kēlā poʻe liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi āu i kōkua ai e lawe mai i ka honua. ʻAe, nā keiki a kāua, nā keiki a kākou. Loaʻa iā mākou nā lā hoʻomaha i manaʻo ʻia e hoʻolauleʻa i nā mea āpau koe wale nō kā mākou mau keiki. ʻOiai ʻo ka lā Valentine he lā ia e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ke aloha, manaʻo wau e hoʻolilo ʻoe i ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ke aloha nui loa o ka honua, ʻo ia ma waena o ka makua a me kā lāua keiki.
I loko o ko mākou hale, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka lā Valentine e pili ana iaʻu me kaʻu kāne a ʻoi aku ka nui o kā mākou mau keiki ʻekolu. He ʻahaʻaina kūikawā kā mākou, ma ka hale ma ke kukui kukui a i ʻole mākou e hele i waho me ka ʻaʻahu a pau. ʻOiai ʻaʻole mākou e noho ma laila i ka ʻaina ahiahi a haʻi i kā mākou mau keiki i ko lākou nani, a i ʻole ko mākou aloha iā lākou… Aia kekahi mau manawa ke nānā aku māua me kaʻu kāne i kekahi i kekahi a hāwanawana e pili ana i ko mākou hiki ʻole ke manaʻoʻiʻo i ka nui o ko lāua ulu ʻana. Pīhoihoi mākou i ka poʻe i lilo ai lākou a me ka laki o kā mākou poʻe keiki.
He ʻakaʻaka ma ke ʻano, ʻaʻole ʻakaʻaka ha ha, ʻoiai mākou e manaʻo nei he mau mākua mahalo mau i kā mākou mau keiki. E hōʻike mau mākou iā lākou i ko mākou aloha iā lākou. Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i kekahi lā Valentine i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, kahi i kū ai mākou me ka hiki ke nalowale kekahi o kā mākou mau keiki, ʻo kā mākou keiki. ʻO ia paha ka lā Valentine maikaʻi loa i loaʻa iā mākou. ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ia ka makahiki i hoʻoholo ai au ʻaʻole pono mākou e hoʻolauleʻa hou i ka lā Valentine.
He ADHD kā kā mākou keiki, a i kēlā manawa e lawe ana ʻo ia iā Adderall. Ua maʻi nui ʻo ia; me he mea la ua omo ke ola iaia. ʻO ia wale nō ka mea hiki iā ia ke hele mai kona lumi moe a i ka lumi ʻauʻau a laila e moe ʻo ia a hiamoe… no nā hola. Ua lawe mākou iā ia i ke kauka, nāna i haʻi mai ua loaʻa paha ʻo ia i ka maʻi maʻi a i ʻole kekahi mea a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ia i kekahi mau lā. Ua haʻi mau au i ke kauka ua hewa ʻo ia, aia kekahi mea koʻikoʻi i kā kāua keiki. Ua ʻike mua au iā ia i ka maʻi, akā ʻaʻole kēia he mea maʻamau. ʻAʻohe ona ikaika. I kēlā kakahiaka ua ala ʻo ia me ka haʻi ʻana mai iaʻu ua manaʻo ʻo ia ua holo ʻo ia i ka marathon. He 187 kona puuwai; ua haikea, ua hou, a ua makewai loa. ʻOiai he kahu hānai ʻo ia wale nō kaʻu e noʻonoʻo ai aia ʻo ia i loko o kahi fib a pono e lawe ʻia i ka haukapila. I ka hopena, i ko mākou noho ʻana i loko o ka ER e kali ana e ʻike i ka hopena o kā mākou keiki, hele mai kekahi kauka ER maikaʻi loa a noho pū me mākou a wehewehe ʻo ka mea i hana ʻia ua loaʻa ka maʻi i kā mākou keiki, a ma ia ia i hoʻouka i kona puʻuwai.
No laila ua noho mākou ma ka ER i kēlā lā Valentine, ʻo kā mākou kaikamahine mua me nā hoaaloha pili ʻohana. Noho mākou a nānā i ka mīkini EKG a kali e ʻike inā hiki iā lākou ke hoʻopaʻa i kā mākou keiki. Ua haʻi maoli au i kaʻu kāne e hoʻokuʻu paha mākou i ka lā Valentine mai kēia manawa. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi ua hiki iā lākou ke hoʻokūpaʻa iā ia a ua hiki iā mākou ke lawe iā ia i ka home a nānā iā ia ma laila a hiki i kona maikaʻi. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o hoʻokahi pule, a ʻo ka weliweli e like me ia he manawa hoʻi mākou i kālele ai kekahi i kekahi a mahalo i kēlā me kēia manawa a mākou i hui pū ai.
A mai kēlā lā Valentine, ua hana mākou i lā ʻohana kahi a mākou i hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka hui pū ʻana. ʻIke, ʻaʻohe lā hoʻomaha i hoʻolālā ʻia no ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i kā mākou mau keiki a me ko lākou manaʻo iā mākou, a no nā kaikunāne e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he mau kaikunāne lākou. Pono mākou e lawe i kēia lā e mahalo ai i kā mākou mau keiki. E hoʻolālā i kahi pāʻina kūikawā a puni lākou. Ma muli o ko lākou mau makahiki a me ka pili o kou pilina me lākou, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻai i ka ʻaina ʻaina kukui ʻohana, e hana i kā lākou meaʻai punahele. Hoʻokahi makahiki, ʻo ia nā ʻēheu moa a me nā ʻēheu anu. Mai nīnau, ʻo ia kā lākou makemake a ʻai mākou i ke kukui kukui a makemake lākou.
E pāʻani i nā pāʻani ʻohana a i ʻole e hele pū i kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi, e hoʻolilo i ke ahiahi e kamaʻilio pū kekahi i kekahi a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hoʻolohe ʻana i kāu mau keiki. E nānā kākou, paʻahana nui mākou, a paʻa loa kā mākou mau keiki a maopopo iaʻu aia kekahi manawa e hoʻolohe ʻoe i kāu mau keiki. I kēia pō, e hoʻolōʻihi i ka manawa e hoʻolohe ai iā lākou. E kaʻana like me lākou i kāu mau hoʻomanaʻo punahele e pili ana iā lākou. Inā like ʻoe me aʻu, hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi i kekahi o nā kāleka lā Valentine mua a lākou i hana ai no ʻoe. Pīhoihoi paha kāu mau keiki no ka loaʻa ʻana o ia mau papahana noʻeau.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, hana mākou i nā makana o ka lā Valentine. ʻO ka mea maʻamau he pahu lole a me kahi holoholona momona nui loa, no koʻu manaʻo he nani lākou, ʻoiai i ka makahiki i hala ua loaʻa iā mākou ka rose kaikamahine no ka mea ʻoi aku ʻo ia a ʻo kā mākou keikikāne he pāʻani GameBoy a ke hoʻāʻo nei mākou e ola olakino.
ʻO ka manaʻo, pono kākou a pau e lawe i kēia lā e mahalo i ke ola o nā mea waiwai nui, nā keiki. ʻAʻole ia he mea nui inā he hapalua hola mākou e kala ai me lākou, a hoʻomanawanui paha i ka hoʻolohe ʻana iā Jonas Brothers. E hoʻolauleʻa i ke aloha kūpaʻa ʻole a mākou no lākou i kēia lā Valentine.
