How are you?

What’s up? What’s cookin? What’s shakin? Anything new in your neighborhood?

I’m OK. Got some things happening, but it’s all going to be OK whichever way it turns out. My boyfriend’s hanai sister is in the hospital. In Hawaii, families often co-parent each other’s children in hanai relationships. The children grow up together. He’s very sad about his sister.

Some days, I get overwhelmed with the memories of a lifetime and just want to sit and drink tea, but the office wouldn’t understand, so here I am.
