I’m born and raised on Maui, Hawaii. My family lived in Lahaina for 27 years. I remember when we first moved out there. It was a one-bedroom old plantation style house. My dad had to dig the cesspool even. Over a course of 27 years my parents built up around that house and turned it into a beautiful oasis in Lahaina on Hauola Pl.
My siblings and I as adults, along with our extended family & friends would always come to visit and everyone stayed, my parents built so many rooms that there was always space. Our home was built on a foundation of love and we will always have the memories of happy times and everything lost can be replaced, but it hurts to see my parents & brother lose it all in a flash.
