Sandwiched
Pint-sized, energetic, joyful mo’opuna
Eager to connect with his Tutu
Every. Day.
“Mommy, I want to FaceTime Grandma!”
“Alexa, drop in on Perla!”
Laughter, smiles, and kisses exchanged digitally
In this moment I am grateful for technology
Tiny, innocent lima find their way to grasp wrinkled and disabled manamanalima
Slowly guiding their Tutu with loving patience
Under the warmth of the sun and allowing the gentle breeze to brush across our skin
On Saturdays we roll together
Sometimes to the zoo
Sometimes to see steam trains
Most often to lab appointments
In this moment I am grateful for the time
What comes to mind when asked about quality of life?
I step back. Observe. Reflect.
Three generations
One beginning
One nearing the end
One caught in the middle
This is my kuleana
