3. That was when my late husband and I went to Maui for the first time for 2 weeks around Valentine's Day

Thursday

We stayed at Lahaina shores and spent hours and hours on the hill at the scenic lookout at Maalaea Bay watching whales. Pure magic. Maybe we crossed paths, lol.

We went back every year or two until Type I DM took him. I took a break for a couple of years, but went back to scatter his ashes at our favorite spot in Napili. I haven't gone back since the winter before the Lahaina fire, but I've made arrangements for next year.
