A SPECIAL NOTE OF THANKFULNESS

One reason I’m extra thankful this Thanksgiving today.

It’s our 55th anniversary for Vi and me.

We customarily have been celebrating Nov. 23 — for the past few decades, anyway — with a dinner for two at Roy’s in Hawaii Kai.

But being Thanksgiving day, and my recent health issues, we’ll toast with a quiet dinner at home.

I am particularly grateful for Vi’s comforting support following my health challenges in early August when I was hospitalized for 10 days in Queen’s. She has been nursing me 24/7 since, and the journey continues. Love you, Vi. And mahalo plenty.
