Visit was great, couldn't have asked for more. Mom is getting hella weak but her spirit and mind are soaring, she is facing death like a friggin saint. No one knows how long she will last, she could have several more years or get wiped out in the next 6 months. Right now she can barely hold herself upright while walking, but uses a walker or poles to support. All that hiking in her younger years has made her a trooper
really proud of her. Dad is also a champ, couldn't ask for more he is cool and going with the flow.
Brother is kicking ass, learning to surf and getting strong. Has a big Aikido trip to Japan lined up in the spring. Family issues progressing slowly but surely, need some patience that's all.
Plane stopped in Vancouver, then I boarded this thing for like a 12 minute flight to the Island, the most beautiful place I've ever known:
Flying to the Island, where I was born and my kin reside:
Chillin with my brother @ the folks' place. This does not happen very often, though we get along great he is awesome
My brother has recently committed to learning how to surf, there are several beaches within a short drive's time where you can surf. He has all the equipment but we rented for me
We went 2 days in a row. This was the first place, from the parking lot you have to hike about 20 minutes down to the beach:
Trail to the beach. We surfed till the sun went down and it was dark AF coming back, lol
