Our friends have moved on. The Friedman family ended up having to tie up some loose ends and go back to CO. and are making the best of having to leave. They will be staying there after all. They felt that it was a nice "extended vacation" and it was time, they needed to move on. Their experience here taught them much. Slowing down and enjoying the moment~ living in the present~ God's love through creation and beauty~ family~ and trust in God. They are wonderful people and the connection was made, for a reason only known by him who brought us together for a few short weeks. I thank them for the opportunity of their welcoming, unassuming friendship. My visits with Beth were both eye opening, and memorable for me. I miss her smiling face!! We hope and pray the best for them, but will miss their family.

The remnants they left behind from the sale they had before they moved will bring memories of our first weeks here with them, and they will be remembered each time the boys go surfing or play at the beach. Isaac bought the various surf boards which were used in their first attempts at surfing. I am sure, trying to teach us the tricks of Maui and "not turning your back on the sea" brought back memories of them arriving here 18 months ago. I am sure we will see you again. Till then...
"Mahalo" and "Aloha" to the Friedman family.
