Aloha And Ahui Hou My Love

Where and how do I begin to say that my heart is shattered in a million pieces with the lost of my dearest husband Charley. He has been my soulmate for the past 29 years. We shared a life that some people wish they could have.

I love you Charles Kahaealohaulaokalani Bent Sr. with all my heart and soul. And I hope that you will be waiting for me with open arms when it is my turn to depart. But for now, I need to be here for all our children and grandchildren who need me. I have a goal to let your legacy live on through your children, grandchildren, and your music.

I will carry you in my heart for as long as I live and my love for you will never fade. You were the love of my life and there can be no other love for me. I am so sorry that I was so helpless and could not fix what was wrong. If I had the power to heal all of the sickness that took over your body, it would have been done. But only God can perform that kind of miracle and He needed you to be with him in Heaven. I am sorry that I had to let you go, but I could not be selfish and let you continue to be in such a lifeless state of being just so I could have you here on earth with me. You suffered for a long time and was so weak at the end that I knew it was time for us to part. But there will be a glorious day when we shall meet once more and I can hold you and tell you that I love you once again.

And I want to say sorry to all my 10 children that I could not give them their father back, but he will continue to live in my heart and in theirs. We have wonderful memories of him that will carry on through the years to come. He lives in your heart and in your veins and he loved everyone of you with all his heart and his soul. You are his life line!

And to my niece Cissy, her husband Steve, and my Scanlan grandchildren……Papa loved you with all his heart and cherished every moment he spent with you. Remember him fondly and keep him in your hearts always.

I am numb and lost now that you are gone. But I will carry out your wishes and live for you. Meke aloha and ahui hou. With love, until we meet again.

Kamalani’s goodbye: My Papa, My Hero

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day to all the brave men and women who have served in all branches of our Armed Forces. Today is a day that we honor all of you who fought for your country and your beliefs. America is very proud of you!

I especially would like to honor my dearest husband Charley who now lies in a hospital bed fighting to recover from an illness. He served in the Army as a Ranger and fought in the forgotten war, the Korean War. He saw many a battle buddy get shot and blown up. And to this day has occasional nightmares about it. He join the Army at the early age of 17, took his training at Schoffield here in Hawaii. He served our country for 6 years in Germany, Korea, and California where he took his discharge. He is my Hero, and the Hero of my 10 children. I love you Kahae with all my heart and soul and I stand by you as you fight the greatest battle of your life. God bless you!

And I would also like to honor my son-in-law Kyle West for his part of serving our country in the Navy. And my son Brandon who served in the Marine Corps. And my father who also served in the Army during World War II, and is no longer with us in body, but his spirit will always be in my heart.

And I would like to honor all my blog buddies out there who have served our country and defended her with pride. Especially my good friend Mr. Doyle, and my sons good friend Norsegod. And a fine lady who also served for 10 years, Melissa from Running Blonde. Hats off to all of you! I love you all and wish you the very best in life.
