Hoʻomaka ka wā hoʻomaha me kahi kani maʻaneʻi i koʻu wahi honua. ʻO ia ka lā hoʻomaikaʻi mua me ka ʻole o koʻu makuahine, a i ke kokoke ʻana mai, ʻānō wau. Ma hea wau e hele ai, i kēia manawa ʻaʻole pono hou wau e hui pū me ia no ka turkey ma ka home kahu? Minamina wau: haʻo wau iā ia a e haʻo wau i ka hoʻokele nani ma uka o Nu Ioka, akā maopopo leʻa ʻaʻole wau e haʻalele i ka haunaele a me ke kaumaha o ka noho pū ʻana me nā ʻelemākule kamaʻāina, e like me nā huaʻōlelo a ka noho noho Pelekane. no ke Akua. "

A ʻoiaʻiʻo nō, ʻaʻole wau — ma kahi o, hana wau i koʻu hopohopo a me ke kaumaha. Hana wau i nā mea aʻu e hana mau ai ke hele wau a hopohopo, hopohopo, a me wau wale nō. Hāpai wau i kaʻu papa hana no ka mea ʻo wau ka hana e mālama i ke kaumaha. A i ʻole manaʻo wau.

Ke kali nei wau e ʻike inā e loaʻa ana kaʻu mau hoaaloha pili aloha i kā lākou hana hoʻākoakoa maʻamau, akā i kēia makahiki e ʻike lākou i ka ʻohana, no laila puka kēlā. ʻAe wau i kahi kono i ka bash ʻohana nui a kekahi hoaaloha, kahi e kupaianaha ai ka meaʻai, ʻaʻole hoʻomanaʻo ka hapanui o ka ʻohana ua hui lāua me aʻu ʻeono a ʻehiku paha manawa, a he manawa kūpono kaʻu e kamaʻilio ai me kaʻu hoaaloha a kāna mau keiki, a nānā i ka ikaika nui o ka ʻohana, ke ʻai nei mākou. Hāʻawi pū wau i ka lima me nā kīʻaha, lawe mai i nā noho pelu ʻelua a me kahi ʻōmole waina, a e lilo i ʻoluʻolu iaʻu iho.

Ke hana nei kaʻu hale pule i kahi pā ma hope o ka lawelawe hoʻomaikaʻi ecumenical Thanksgiving, a kau inoa wau no ka mea ma ke awakea ia a me ka ʻaina awakea a kaʻu hoaaloha ma 4:30. Hāʻawi wau e lawe i ka ʻuala i kāwili ʻia, ka nui a me ka nui o kaʻuala kaʻuala, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi ke loaʻa he nui loa. E hauʻoli wau i ka manawa kūpono e kaʻana like ai i kahi pāʻina me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai ka ʻohana a me ka manaʻo mehameha. Ke aʻo nei wau pehea e hoʻokele ai i kahi kaʻawale i kahi hale pule piha i nā ʻohana, a he manawa kūpono kēia e ʻike ai ʻo wai lā ma kā lākou iho. Kahaha wau i ka maopopo ʻana ke nānā nui nei wau i mua i kēia ʻaina awakea, a ʻaneʻane wau e kala i ka ʻae ʻana i ke kono maikaʻi i ka bash nui. Akā hiki iaʻu ke hana i nā mea ʻelua. A i ʻole manaʻo wau.

A laila ʻaʻole hele mai hoʻokahi akā ʻelua mau haunaele: ua loli nā hoʻolālā a kaʻu hoa aloha ʻo Margaret a, ma ia wahi, hāʻawi wau e kuke i ka ʻaina Thanksgiving i ke awakea, e haʻalele ana i kaʻu hoʻolālā e komo i ka ʻaina awakea ma ka hale pule. A kokoke koke, loaʻa iaʻu kahi kelepona mai ka hoaaloha e hoʻokipa nei i ka bash, e hōʻike iaʻu ua loli ka manawa mai 4:30 a 1:30. Ua huhū wau, akā me kahi finagling liʻiliʻi, manaʻo wau, hiki nō iaʻu ke hana i nā mea ʻelua.

Hoʻolaha aku wau iā Margaret e pono ana kā mākou ʻaina awakea ma 5:30 ma mua o ke awakea, a hāʻawi wau e hāʻawi i nā puʻu o ka ʻuala palaoa i ka ʻaina awakea o ka hale pule ʻoiai ʻaʻole wau e hele ma laila e ʻai ai - ʻae ʻia ka hāʻawi me ka alacrity , a ʻoluʻolu wau makemake ʻia koʻu kōkua. Kūʻai au i ka meaʻai no ka ʻaina awakea a Margaret, ka ʻai ʻana i ke kumu kūʻai, a hana i kahi hoʻolālā e hoʻomākaukau a lawe i nā meaʻai i ka hale pule a i kona home i ka manawa e hele ai i ka bash ma 1:30. Māmā-peasy.

ʻIke wau i nā mea kūʻai aku ma ka Pōʻakolu, a ua luhi hoʻi wau i ka ʻili a me ka mash he ʻumi paona o kaʻuala. Hoʻoholo wau hiki iaʻu ke haʻalele i ka lawena hale pule a haʻalele wale i kaʻuala i ka wā e holo ana ka hana; Haʻalele au i nā hoʻomākaukau āpau no ke kakahiaka Pōʻahā. Hiki iaʻu ke hana.

Malia paha e hopohopo iki ana i ka lōʻihi o ka prep a pau, loaʻa wau i ka hiamoe a ala aʻe ma 2:30 a hoʻomaka i ka ʻuala ʻana i kaʻuala. Loaʻa wau iā lākou, a me nā hoʻomākaukau ʻē aʻe, hana ʻia i ka manawa nui. Manaʻo wau e hoʻi i kahi hiamoe ma kahi o 8:30 ma mua o ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā mea āpau, akā ʻike wau inā kū wau i luna, hiki iaʻu ke hāʻawi i ka meaʻai iā Margaret a hele i ka hale pule i ka 10:30, ma mua o ka hele ʻana i ka bash a ma Margaret's ʻaina ahiahi. I loko o ka hale a Jack i kūkulu ai , hoʻomaka kuʻu lolo e kolo. Akā ʻike wau hiki iaʻu ke hana.

A hana wau: Kulu wau i ka uala, mea hoʻokomo, gravy, casserole bean green, sauce cranberry, cider sparkling, a me kahi turkey me Margaret, kahi aʻu e ʻike ai i ka ʻoluʻolu o kaʻu mau lawelawe. Ua lawe mai au i nā latte e kaʻana like, akā ʻaʻole au i kono ʻia e noho. ʻIke wau i kahi ʻano ʻē, ʻoluʻolu ʻole, ʻeha. Nui kaʻu mau hana e hoʻomākaukau ai i kēia ʻaina awakea. Hoʻopili ke ahi o ka hopohopo iaʻu: he aha kaʻu i hana hewa ai? Ma ke ala e hele ai i ka hale pule, e miki ʻana i kaʻu latte momona loa, ua manaʻo wau i kekahi mau mea hiki, nā hāʻule ʻole i loko oʻu iho. Maliʻa paha ʻaʻole lawa kaʻu hana, malia paha he bossy wau e pili ana i ka lawe ʻana mai i ka meaʻai, paʻakikī paha iā Margaret e kuke ai ka kuhukukū. ʻAʻole holo pono ke kamaʻilio i kēia manawa.

Hele wau i ka hale pule i ka manawa e waiho i kaʻuala i ka umu e mahana ai. Ua haʻi ʻia mai iaʻu e ka mea hoʻonohonoho o ka ʻaina ahiahi o ka hale pule ua lawe mai kekahi mea ʻē i ka nui o kaʻuala i kāwili ʻia. "ʻAʻole ʻo ia i kau inoa," wahi a Ellen me ke ʻano rue. "E kala mai, ʻaʻole wau i ʻike." "ʻAe," ʻolelo mālie wau, me ka nānā ʻole i kaʻu mau hiʻohiʻona huhū. "Hiki paha i ka poʻe ke lawe i kahi home. ʻOi aku kaʻu mau mea ma mua o kaʻu pono. ” Kunou ʻo ia, akā hōʻike ke alo i kona minamina. Maliʻa paha ʻike ʻo ia i kekahi mea i koʻu alo, kahi mea aʻu e ʻae ʻole nei iaʻu e haha.

Haʻalele wau i ka lumi kuke a hele i loko o kahi hoʻāno, kahi e noho mehameha ai i kahi pew e hoʻolohe ana i ka ʻōlelo mua, kahi hui o nā mele hoʻomaikaʻi. ʻIke wau i ka mea ma laila: ʻekolu a ʻehā mau ʻohana me nā keiki, hapalua kakini wahine mai kahi home hui, he kahuna Katolika mai ka monastery kūloko, ka rector Episkopal, ko mākou kuhina, a ma kahi o 30 mau kānaka e noho kaʻawale nei. ʻO ka hapa nui o mākou he poʻe waena, hoʻoponopono maikaʻi, nā lālā hana o ka hale pule. Ke holo nei ka lawelawe, ʻike wau i ka ʻaneʻane o mākou āpau e holoi i ko mākou mau maka me nā hainaka a i ʻole Kleenex i nā helu like ʻole.
