ʻO ka wehe ʻana i kēia lā no ka hālāwai maikaʻi o ka lā ʻapōpō

Ma hope o ka hana ʻana i ka ʻoihana no nā makahiki he ʻumi, ua lilo ʻo Vincent i mea nui o kā mākou hui. ʻAʻole ʻo ia he hoa hana, akā ʻoi aku ka like me ka ʻohana. I loko o kona noho ʻana, ua ʻalo ʻo ia i nā pilikia he nui a ua hauʻoli i nā lanakila he nui me mākou. ʻO kāna kūpaʻa a me kāna kūpaʻa ua waiho i kahi hopena mau loa iā mākou a pau. I kona aloha ʻana ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana, ua piha mākou i nā manaʻo huikau.

ʻO ka noho ʻana o Vincent i loko o ka hui ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha. Ua ʻālohilohi ʻo ia i kāna kūlana ʻoihana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma kāna kuleana a loaʻa ka mahalo o kāna mau hoa hana. Ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia kāna ʻano hana i ka lawelawe mea kūʻai aku mai nā wahi āpau. ʻO kona haʻalele ʻana, ma muli o nā kumu ʻohana, hōʻailona i ka hopena o kahi au no mākou.

Ua kaʻana like mākou i nā mea hoʻomanaʻo a me nā ʻike me Vincent, a ʻo kona haʻalele ʻana e ʻike ʻia. Eia naʻe, i kona hoʻomaka ʻana i kahi mokuna hou o kona ola, makemake mākou iā ia i ka hauʻoli, ka hauʻoli, a me ka ulu mau. ʻAʻole ʻo Vincent he hoa hana waiwai, akā he makua kāne maikaʻi a he kāne maikaʻi. ʻO kona hoʻolaʻa ʻana i kāna ʻoihana a me kona ola pilikino he mea mahalo maoli ʻia.

Ke hāʻawi aku nei mākou i ko mākou mahalo no kāna mau haʻawina i ka hui. Mahalo mākou i ka manawa a mākou i hui pū ai a me ka ʻike i loaʻa iā mākou ma ka hana pū me ia. ʻO ka haʻalele ʻana o Vincent he mea paʻakikī ke hoʻopiha, akā ke hilinaʻi nei mākou e hoʻomau ʻo ia i ka ʻālohilohi i kāna mau hana āpau e hiki mai ana.

Vincent, i kou neʻe ʻana i mua, ke manaʻolana nei mākou i ka holo mālie i nā lā e hiki mai ana. E loaʻa iā ʻoe ka hauʻoli, ka hauʻoli, a me ka ʻohi mau ʻana i kāu mau hana a pau e hiki mai ana. E poina nui ʻia kou hele ʻana, akā e mau ana kāu hoʻoilina i loko o ka ʻoihana. Aloha ʻoe, a aloha maikaʻi no ka wā e hiki mai ana.
