Please hold my Mother in thought

Girls, I need a favor. Please hold my

mother in thought, as well as her

siblings.

A prominent member of my extended family

passed away over a week ago, and his

funeral is tonight.

My mom and her sister will be taking

this very, very hard, as will the rest of

us, but they will take it hard the most.

In the 1930's to 1950's, the common way to

live in Hawaii was 5 or 6 families under

one large roof and that is how everyone

grew up close and stayed close.

Girls, thank you so much in advance.

((((((((((big hugs)))))))))))

love,

Cindy


~*~ Aloha to all .... ~*~

Cen,

Prayers and positive vibes on the way. Your family has a special kind of closeness (sp) like in days of old.

Sorry to hear about your loved one,

Cindy, I think in a lot of our cultures it used to be much more commmon for families to stay together...not, perhaps, under the same roof but certainly on the same land. So many of us are so widely dispersed now. This is undoubtedly a very difficult time for your mother and the others, but what memories they will carry on with them. I will be thinking of them.

Big hugs and sympathetic thoughts are going out to your mom, Cindy. I hope the funeral went ok, such sad events. That's interesting about all the families living under the same roof, I bet the youngsters made lifelong friends that way. Take care and give your mom a hug for me!
