This is what the eyes of my four-year-old witnessed during a very memorable experience and prominent time in my childhood. The scenery was perfect beyond my wildest imagination - pure beauty. I had recently lost my father just months before and joined a grief support program. Every Saturday, we would learn how to paddle from the mentors with Na Kama Kai. I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and aloha through those around me, the richness of Hawaii's nature, but most of all, my dad's presence as the sun's rays shined his light through and warmed my broken heart.
