Tuesday, I got a call that changed things. It was a conversation that started out mundane enough (How are you? How's work?). It was about to end in a mundane way (Okay, I should go...). And then, I heard, There's something I need to tell you.
Oh, oh.
It was the kind of news that takes a while to sink in. And then I cried. And later, I cried some more. I know that it will be okay - that we'll be okay - but it will probably take some time, and reorientation.
Yesterday, we had the day off for King Kamehameha Day. Yes, we get all the holidays the mainland gets. Plus some. Went snorkeling for a little bit - we were at the beach by 7am. Visibility wasn't great, but we still saw some awesome fish. It's times like that that I feel so very lucky to live here, swimming along, with these creatures of amazing color and grace casually moving under or past me.
