Leis of orchids, plumerias, and pikaki would just be a few of the flowers you would have hung around your neck at your graduation. Not to mention leis made of money, candy and all sorts of yarns. By the end of the evening my grandson had leis so high you could not see his face.
The family gathered in the high-school stadium for the last time. Every season we came together to watch Lono play Football. His grandfather yelling out plays from the bleachers. LONO! he would yell loudly all evening long. So when we sat in the stand where the band once played it was a very sad and very happy occasion.
As Lono's name was called his grandfather stood up one last time and shouted, LONO! and for the first time in the four years that we sat through his games Lono was actually smiling from ear to ear. Now it's off to college. Job well done Lono!
