Hoʻoulu ʻia kēia ʻatikala e ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo kā mākou mea mua ma kahi o 15 a i kēia kauwela makemake nā mea a pau e hele mai a noho me lākou… ʻaʻole no hoʻokahi lā a ʻelua paha… ʻO ka hapa nui o ka mahina e hiki mai ana, e hoʻi ana ʻo ia i ka home ma kahi o 5 mau lā inā laki au. E noʻonoʻo ʻoe ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopilikia iā ia, ke kakali nei ʻo ia e hele. E hele ana ʻo ia e ʻike i nā hoaaloha kahiko a me nā wahi hou. Hauʻoli mākou iā ia, a makemake mākou e hele ʻo ia. I ka manawa like, makemake mākou e noho ʻo ia i ka home. Maopopo iaʻu me kaʻu kāne i kā mākou mau keiki ke hala lākou. ʻIke wau ua lawa ʻoe i ka heluhelu ʻana i kaʻu palapala e ʻike ai ʻoe he ʻohana pili loa mākou, hui pū mau. No laila he wā hoʻāʻo kēia. Makemake mākou e leʻaleʻa iā ia… e hana i kēlā, pono mākou e hoʻomaka e aʻo e hoʻokuʻu.

No laila, ke hāʻawi aku nei au i kekahi mau manaʻo i nā mākua a pau o laila he keiki mākaukau e mohala ma luna o lākou iho, e hohola i ko lākou mau ʻēheu a lele liʻiliʻi… akā ke paʻakikī nei ʻoe i ke ʻoki ʻana i ke kaula o ka ʻōpū. Aia wau me ʻoe! Penei au e ola nei.

Manaʻo Mākua ʻElua: Hoʻāʻo i nā Wai

Ma muli o ka makahiki o kāu keiki, makemake paha ʻoe e hāʻawi iā ia i ka manawa e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai iā ia ke kuleana ma ka waiho ʻana iā ia e mālama hānai, a i ʻole e hoʻokau iā ia i luna o kekahi hana koʻikoʻi a ʻike i ke ʻano o kā lākou mālama ʻana inā ʻaʻole ʻoe ma laila. I kekahi manawa ma ke ʻano he makua, pono mākou e ʻike i mea e manaʻoʻiʻo ai.

Manaʻo Mākua ʻEkolu: E kamaʻilio me lākou

E kamaʻilio me kāu keiki e pili ana i ka hele ʻana, a ʻaʻole paha me ʻoe. E haʻi iā lākou e haʻalele ana lākou iā ʻoe akā e hauʻoli lākou. ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole paha lākou e noʻonoʻo nui iā ʻoe i ko lākou hala ʻana… akā maikaʻi kēlā. Ke hoʻi mai lākou i ka home e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka puliki nui. E hana i ʻaelike e kāhea aku lākou iā ʻoe ma ka liʻiliʻi ʻelua i ko lākou hele ʻana… a i ʻole e kāhea ʻoe iā lākou. Hiki iā ʻoe ke memo koke, kikokiko a hoʻouna i nā leka uila.

Manaʻo Mākua ʻEhā: E nānā iā lākou no wai lākou

E like me ko mākou inaina i ka ʻae ʻana i ko lākou ulu ʻana, i kekahi manawa pono mākou e nānā iā lākou a ʻike iā lākou no ka ʻōpio a lākou e lilo nei. ʻAʻole lākou e noho mau i ka home… a e like me ko mākou makemake e noho liʻiliʻi lākou, a e lilo i pēpē no mākou no ka wā pau ʻole… ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou, ʻaʻole kūlohelohe a olakino paha. Pīhoihoi au i ka lede ʻōpio i lilo ai kaʻu hiapo. ʻOiai ʻo ia e loaʻa ana kāna mau manawa pōʻino… he poʻo maikaʻi kona ma luna o kona poʻohiwi a ʻaʻole hopohopo e haʻi i kona manaʻo. Ua ʻike ʻo ia hiki iā ia ke kelepona mai iaʻu a i kona makuakāne a hiki mākou i laila i hoʻokahi minute e kōkua iā ia inā pono ʻo ia.

Manaʻo Mākua ʻElima: E haʻi iā lākou Ke hilinaʻi nei ʻoe iā lākou

ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa e hōʻike ai i kāu keiki he manaʻoʻiʻo kou iā ia a hilinaʻi iā ia e hana i ka mea kūpono i ko lākou hele ʻana, ʻo ia ke haʻi iā lākou he manaʻoʻiʻo kou iā lākou… Pono lākou e aʻo i nā hopena i nā hana a hoʻopaʻa i kēlā mau hopena.

Manaʻo Mākua ʻEono: E uku iā lākou no kahi hana i hana maikaʻi ʻia

ʻO kā mākou mea mua e kōkua nui iaʻu i ka lā. Nānā ʻo ia i ka pēpē i koʻu wā e hana ana, ʻaʻole ʻo ia ka mea a kā mākou pēpē e makemake ai. He kaikamahine ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ia na ka makuahine a makemake ʻo ia e noho pū me aʻu ma mua o kekahi. No laila, aia kekahi mau lā e uku ai kā mākou pēpē i kona kaikuahine nui no ka mea ʻo ia wale nō ke kaikuahine. No laila, ʻae wau e uku iā ia e nānā i kāna kaikaina liʻiliʻi i kaʻu hana, ʻelua hola o ka lā. E hilinaʻi iaʻu i kaʻu haʻi ʻana iā ʻoe aia kekahi mau lā e loaʻa iā ia kēlā me kēia keneta a laila kekahi a uku mākou iā ia no kēlā. Mai manaʻo ʻoe e hana ana kāu poʻe kahiko i nā mea no ka mea ʻo lākou ka mea kahiko loa. E uku iā lākou, ʻaʻole lākou i noi e lilo i makua.

Manaʻo Mākua ʻEhiku: E hoʻomaopopo pono i kou mau mākua e hoʻokuʻu

Inā ʻaʻole hoʻokuʻu mai kou mau mākua iā ʻoe e ulu ma kāu iho, a laila aia nō ʻoe ma ka home me ka makuahine a me ka makuakāne. ʻOiai ʻaʻole maikaʻi kou ola, a ʻo ia paha… makemake maoli ʻoe e noho me ka makuahine a me ka makuakāne i kēia manawa? Aloha au i koʻu makuahine… akā ummm… ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke noho me ia. Hiki iā ia ke noho me aʻu, koʻu hale koʻu mau kānāwai… ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻi a ola i kāna mau lula… Ua ʻelemakule wau.

ʻIke wau ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kā mākou mau keiki. Uwe pinepine au i kekahi manawa (ʻakaʻaka a wink) no ka ulu ʻana o kaʻu mau pēpē. Nānā wau i kaʻu hiapo a ʻike iā ia he 15 mau makahiki aku nei, he pēpē wale nō ma koʻu mau lima. Ke nānā nei au i kā mākou ʻōpio, aia ma kahi o 7 mau mahina ke ulu nei i ka wikiwiki. Mai kekahi makua a i kekahi makua, e hoʻomāhuahua i nā lā a pau me lākou. E hōʻike iā lākou he aloha ʻoe iā lākou, hilinaʻi i kāu mea i hana ai no lākou… a paʻa iā lākou ma kou manamana lima ke mākaukau lākou e lele mai ka pūnana.

He mea kākau ʻo Jennifer Shakeel a he kahu hānai ma mua o 12 mau makahiki o ka ʻike olakino. Ma ke ʻano he makuahine o nā keiki maikaʻi ʻelua me hoʻokahi ma ke ala, eia wau e haʻi aku iā ʻoe i nā mea aʻu i aʻo ai e pili ana i ka makua a me nā hauʻoli a me nā loli i ka wā hāpai. Hiki iā mākou ke ʻakaʻaka a uē a hauʻoli i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he mau makuahine mākou!
