The branches grow because of the trunk. Pukui 1261
Without our ancestors, we would not be here.
In our gadabout lives, we often forget about the trials and tribulations of our ancestors. If we think we have it tough, let's try to re-imagine our lives without electricity, household appliances, flush toilets and indoor plumbing, automobiles, and supermarkets!! Yet our kupuna had and raised their families, persevered, survived, and perhaps even flourised.
I wonder how our progeny will see our lives today. Would this period be considered the "good ole days?" One way to make it a period of fond remembrance is to work hard to create memories in our children and grandchildren. Family adventures, good food, good conversation, and time make for lasting positive memories.
