Ma hope aku, ma ke olaʻana o kēlā me kēia meaʻelemakule, hiki mai ka manawa e pono ai e hoʻomaopopo iāʻoe iho, e'ōlelo aku iāʻoe iho i loko o ke kaiaulu i mea e loaʻa ai kekahiʻano. ʻO ka pahuhopu nui kēia o ke ola o kēlā me kēia kanaka. Uaʻikeʻia e nā poʻe a pau i nāʻano likeʻole: he hanana kekahi,ʻo ka mea nāna i hana i kekahiʻohana nui, heʻoihana kekahi. Aʻaʻoleʻike kekahi. Eia kekahi no nā kumu likeʻole, akā i kēiaʻano, he nui ka poʻe e ho'āʻo nei eʻike i kēia ... ma o kā mākou mau keiki.
ʻO nā keiki ka hoʻomau o kaʻohana. Ke aloha nei kekahi iā lākou a me nā moeʻuhane e pili ana iā lākou, akāʻaʻole kekahi. Akā,ʻo kekahiʻaoʻao aʻo kekahi paha, ke waiho nei mākou i ko mākou mau manaʻolana a me ko mākou mau walana i kā mākou mau keiki, ke hoʻohui nei mākou i ko mākou mau moena lōʻihi i hoʻopoinaʻia. Recollect,ʻaʻole waleʻoe i makemake e lilo:ʻo cosmonauts, a me nā mea mele, a me nā kālai'āina, a me nā mea hana, a me nā mea alakaʻi ...ʻAʻole naʻe i hiki i ko lākou wā'ōpiopio ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo. I kēia manawa, ua lilo i mea maʻamau ke aʻo aku i kāu mau keiki mai kahi'ōpiopio loa i kekahiʻoihana, a ke kali nei ka poʻe i ka manawa e nīnau iā lākou i kā lākou makemake e hana iā lākou iho. Aia kekahi kānāwai kuhihewa i hikiʻole i ke keiki ke koho i konaʻaoʻao iho, i ka wā'ōpiopio. He manaʻo kūponoʻole kēia, no ka mea,ʻaʻohe mea e koho ai aʻaʻohe keiki. Iʻole e hana hewa aʻaʻole e hōʻino i kāu keiki, ponoʻoe e nānā i kāu pēpē: hiki paha iā ia ke huki a makemake paha e hula i nā wahi āpau, aiʻole ia manawa a pau e hīmeni aiʻo ia i kekahi kumu. Paʻa pinepine kēia. Akā,ʻo ka mea nui loa, makemake nui nā mākua eʻike i kā lākou mau makemakeʻole i kā lākou mau keiki. Ma muli o ka manaʻoʻole o ke ola, no keʻano o ke kīʻole, ka pilikiaʻole.
"Makemake loa au i kahi o kaʻu mau keiki e komo i ka mele, mele," wahi a kekahi wahine, ka makuahine o nā keikiʻekolu. "Akā,ʻaʻole aʻu hoʻolohe he kāne a he leo paha." No laila,ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā kāua mau keiki,ʻaʻohe o lākouʻike i ke kani. Akā, manaʻolana wau e hiki paha iā lākou ke ulu. Ua lawe ka kaikamahine'ōpio iā ia i ka mea hoʻokani pila, ua nānāʻo ia, hoʻolohe a hoʻopuka i kāna'ōlelo hoʻohewaʻole: he meaʻole nā mea a pau. Ua huhū loa wau. Ua hāʻawi aku wau i kaʻu kaikamahine i ka hale kaʻa, no ka mea makemake wau i ka keiki e holomua. Nui nā diplomas, nā haʻawina, nui loa koʻu haʻaheo, akā eia ka pilikia me ka aʻo ... "
ʻAʻohe mea kūpono kēia mau mea. Mālama nā mākua, e hoʻopoina ana i nā pono o kā lākou mau keiki, ma ko lākouʻikeʻana i loko o ia mau mea no ka mea e "hoʻokō" lākou i nā pilikia'ē aʻe he nui. ʻO kēia ka mea e hiki ai i ke keiki i ka wā e hiki mai ana i ka manawa e hiki ai iā ia ke noʻonoʻo i kāna mau meaʻole a nalowale a nānā iā ia iho ma nā wahi āpau, kahiʻole kahi maikaʻi.
"Ua moeʻuhane wau e hana kaʻu keiki i ka ballet, no ka mea he nani loa ia! ʻO kā lākou mau hula, kā lākou mau waihona! "Wahi a kekahi wahine'ē aʻe. "He keiki kaʻu. He maikaʻi konaʻikepili pūnaewele. Ua hoʻouna au iā ia i ke kumu kula, ua like nā mea a pau i ka hana, akā, i ka wā e hana ai a waiho i nā palapala, ua hōʻoleʻo ia e hele i ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni,ʻaʻoleʻo ia i makemake aʻaʻole makemake. Ua haʻaleleʻo ia i ka ballet, ua komo i ka papahana'ōlelo. Ua huhū loa wau iā ia, i ka hoʻohikiʻana. Akā ua alaʻo ia. Heaha kaʻu e hana nei? "
ʻO ka hoʻomaopopoʻana i nā manaʻo o nā mākua,ʻoiai, makemake lākou e hoʻohanohano i kā lākou keiki a lanakila, e lilo i makua no ke kanaka poʻokela loa ma ka Honua. Akā, he mea pōʻino, me kahiʻokoʻa wale nō,ʻaʻole i loaʻa kēia mau mea a pau, a inā pēlā,ʻo ia ka mea e pono ai nā keiki pono'ī a me kā lākou mau makemake, ma mua o ko lākou mau mākua. No laila, mai hoʻokau i kāu mau moe ma luna o nā keiki, no ka mea, pono iā lākou iho.
