Thanks, my friend, for inviting me to your home. It took me 36 years but I made it, and it was just as you said, a beautiful place. I'm glad you grew up in such a wonderful island, and that you had a loving wife like Doreen. Keep an eye on us till we see you again.

"He's Only Away"

He is only away-in your thoughts and your heart,
    you are always together, never apart;
In your sorrow, remember-he's only away...
Though he may not be with you
    the memories stay...

And in time, when the hurt
    isn't too much to bear,
whenever you look in your heart
    he'll be there.

Such wonderful childhood memories of you as we grew up in Lahaina. Surfing in front of your house, paddling those tin boats your dad made, and walking to school together. Our birthdays are a day apart. I thank you for being my friend.
