"I remember my parents sacrificing for us,
pouring everything they had into us,
being there for us,
encouraging us to reach for a life
they never knew."

Michelle Obama

(Hmmm, how will Fox/Faux News paint this in an ugly light?)





"In Hawaii we greet friends, loved ones,
or strangers
with Aloha,
which means with love...
try meeting or leaving people with
Aloha
and you will be surprised by their reactions.
I believe it,
and it is my creed.
Aloha to You."
