Twenty years. Such an anniversary typically deserves a big celebration.
But today marks 20 years since my father’s suicide.
Yesterday while hiking with Brett and the boys, I ignorantly muttered that we seemed to have dodged the terrible twos with Pierce.
Depression. Alcoholism. Divorce. Drug abuse. Suicide. Childhood.
My upbringing wasn’t exactly idyllic.
We have officially hit the 9 month mark of Hawaii Life, and are still very much in love with the island, its people, and culture. Many months back, I promised a Q & A about Hawaii.
Today I was that mom – the one letting her kids watch a movie while grocery shopping.
After three months here, I am happy to report that we are loving life and the (almost) daily adventures Oahu provides.
