At the age of 55, with so much to be thankful for. This morning my thoughts focus on the many blessings of my life! So many experiences and good times shared with so many incredible people from all parts of this great world of ours

But always first and foremost in my prayers and consciousness is for the health and happiness of my four sons.

My wish and prayers are for them to have the opportunity to see and experience the beauty of our magnificent earth and it’s good people. Our families have always had a positive spiritual approach to living our lives.  My greatest challenge to my sons is to have them be good ambassadors of our family and our Hawaiian ethics.  living and carrying on these good family values and promoting excellent mental, spiritual and physical well being to all others010 IMG_1853

I ask this in the name of Akua with the blessings our great ancestors that have left us and watch over us! I know my father watches over us always

Aloha and welcome 2015

The joys of popping fireworks and ushering in new year with a bang has always been a great Hawaii celebration for so many years.  It has certainly been a Hopkins and Lucas family tradition for well over 50 years that we have safely passed down from our father’s generation to my generation and our children’s generation.  The firework ban a few years ago has certainly changed those traditions.  I’m sure it’s all for the better, but it has certainly been an adjustment for so many.

Each New Year we now somberly celebrate and pay homage to our great fathers life and passing.  Dad passed away on January 1 2008.  The humble quiet minister that touched not only our lives but so many other people’s lives throughout the Hawaiians islands.  Father Charlie as so many knew him, loved the new year celebration as a boy popping off things and making bigger louder explosions.  This continued to be was one of his favorite holidays throughout his life.

I write this note as a son’s way of continuing my eternal love for our dad and never forgetting the lessons of joy and goodness that we all learned from Charlie especially on this day.  Oia Mau No Ke Aloha Dad!  Hauoli Makahiki Hou!DSC00549 Hopkins, Charles Gordon Kamohali'i
