A Hui Hou Simpson’s

It’s been over a month since we sent off one of our favorite families from their home here in Kona to Alaska, and it has been bittersweet to say the least. So much good stuff has come out of their time in Hawai’i. From meeting each other, falling in love and getting married, to having two of the sweetest boys– Kona has become their home and the love they’ve had for this island runs deep.

It’s never easy letting our loved ones go, but we know it’s necessary in order for them to flourish and grow and become who they were ever created to be. In Hawaiʻi, we have a saying, “A Hui Hou.”  It can be used as the appropriate good-bye equivalent in the English language, but really it translates more correctly as, ʻUntil We Meet Again.’  And with that, we  ‘A Hui Hou’ this fam-bam and entrust them into the loving care of Ke Akua, and all the incredible things, plans, and promises that lay ahead in wonderful Alaska.

*A Hui Hou for now!
