Ohana means "Family"
Meet Mr. Bob. He is amazing. Bob & Melissah FINALLY got married this weekend! February 24, 2007. I'll post beautiful wedding pictures later. This post is not about the wedding. This post is about Bob.
When I first met Bob, I instantly approved of Melissah's newfound relationship. We began our friendship with dinners, weekend visits to Asheville, early morning trips to the airport, and most recently tracking across the Magic Kingdom with a shitload of people (most of whom were wearing mouse ears).
Some more history for you....Bob married my Sister-in-Law, Eddie's widow. This is an example of how life changes, whether you want it to, or not...And how change can be okay.
I miss my brother every day. I did have quite a few "blue" moments this past weekend. But something weird happened, too. It felt like a little bit of sadness went away after the wedding. I'm sure it could have been all the vodka at the reception...The feeling just kind of hit all at once. I know Melissah loves the memory of my brother. I know she loves Bob. A part of my sadness was replaced with a big chunk of happiness this weekend.
Our Ohana (refer to subject line) spent some time talking about some craziness. The seasons of our life, so to speak. I added new memories to old ones. And that is a sweet thing that life offers you, sometimes in the strangest ways.
