2008 Reflection
I cant believe its just about the end of 2008.
Sorry some time went by without a word. Maloa has been under re-construction.
A series of unfortunate accidents has her now in physical therapy. She sustained some serious back injuries while on vacation this summer in Hawaii. A lot of hard work in physical therapy, and she is almost good as new. The biggest obstacle now is that she can NOT wear any high heels for a while. Maloa loves shoes, and by that I mean HEELS . However, this has opened a whole new world for her. Its called FLAT S. Happy to announce she is on the mend.
And there are some happy shoe stores in town.
Its been an exciting year. Mom and Dad took her on a trip to Wash DC. A truly great experience, and hoping to make more trips out that way, as there is just SOOOO much to see .Got to visit with niece Krystal and great nephew Kekai while in DC.
A trip to Grandmas 95th birthday party in Mission Viejo Calif. So wonderful to see Grandma in great spirits, not to mention lGrandma looks great for her age. Also to be able to visit with family.
Next was my niece Kehau's wedding at Kualoa Ranch on the island of Oahu. She and her groom Eric had the most fabulous wedding ever. In the grandest style, their wedding was done in the classy jazz era of the 1920s-1940s. Everyone participated and dressed for the event. Young and old, all were transformed.A totally amazing , and spectacular event, as no detail was left out.
OK, so that's where my injuries began , and pretty much spiraled downhill from there. I wont get in to it in detail, but it involves a fall on a small embankment( injuries to the left hip and thigh, eventually leading to lumbar spinal compression OUCHY), a torn right calf muscle after body surfing at Sandy beach.A trip to the emergency room. But Maloa was able to salvage the rest of her vacation, (as in, continuing her trips to the beach, even in the leg cast. Thanks Dad for sawing it down to a more comfortable knee high cast) and deal with the rest of the problem once back on the mainland.
Months of physical therapy and finally Maloas health is being restored.
It has been a good year though. We have seen old friends and lots of family. Made many new friends, and some very special ones.
The family continues to grow. We will see a new addition next summer ,as Eric and Kehau are expecting their first child.What joy!( No news yet as to whether its a girl or boy.So far only known as "Peanut White") OK then.
We are blessed with good health and family and friends,and wish the same to all of you this coming year, and always.
We hope that 2009 bring you much joy and happiness, prosperity and whatever you wish for!
Blessings!
Maloa and Makena
