Facebook: "None of us makes it through this life without problems and challenges—and sometimes tragedies and misfortunes. After all, in large part we are here to learn and grow from such events in our lives. We know that there are times when we will suffer, when we will grieve, and when we will be saddened...There will be nothing in this world that can defeat us...fear not. Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith."

team "Chrisina Aiono"

Today i did the Orange County Heart Walk with my family. Since its been 10yrs since my Mom passed away april 12,2001 i thought i honor her memory by participating in the 5k walk and have a team in memory of her name "CHRISTINA AIONO ". mom died from cardiac arrest so along with my sister Rita and her girls and my manaia we walked  along with hundreds of people who came out to support the cause and to support the survivors. Heart disease is the #1 killer in America but being a samoan to me it seems its the Biggest disease that our polynesian people die from.  If we can get everyone to take better care of themselves as far as eating healthy and exercise we can probably cut down the number of this disease.

3miles wasn't bad it seemed forever but we did it :) While i was walking with my family i just kept thinking about my mom and everyone who lost their loved  ones. I was thinking about i hope that their will be less lives taken and that we all cld teach each other how to take more better care of ourselves. As much i was wanted to cut through i know that i had to keep going and not give up even if i was caring an extra 29ibs on my shoulder aka Manaia lol.. especially with my nieces  walking along and neariah i cld see that she wanted to do the same but i made sure we stayed positive and kept going and not give up till the end, I think this is how the survivors think too or any survivor or anyone that is struggling with a different disease cancer, arthritis, ms, etc, NOT TO GIVE UP! to keep going and pushing and stay positive no matter what we will make it. and thats what we did we made it to THE FINISH LINE..I'm proud of my family and i thank them for coming with me and joining me wish they all would have came but theres always next year. I know my mom was with us the whole way through and smiling with her big beautiful smile waiting for us at the finish line :) she was with us in spirit along with many others. I love you mom i miss you everyday we all miss you and i know we will meET agian someday. I always wish you were still here with us but i know in spirit and in each of our hearts you are.. TILL WE MEET AGAIN :) TEAM CHRISTINA AIONO!!! RIP 4/12/01

Remembering 9/11 10yr Anniversary

It has been already 10yrs since the Wtc and pentagon was attacked and all the lives that were taken. I can still remember that day and getting a call from my sister lisa on the phne telling us that America has been attacked and to turn on the t.v. When i turned the T.V on that is when i seen the second airplane fly straight into the second tower :( and all i cld think of was about the people on the planes and the people on the world trade center. This day will be a part of everyone forever weither we lost a loved one or just being there when this tragic happen it even if we weren't in the person but it will always be a part of someone because we will all remember this day. I honor the firemen and police and all those who tried there best to do what they were trained to do to save lifes and lost their own lifes on duty. i will honor the survivors and most of all i will honor the families and friends who lost a loved one whos lifes were taken away on this day. I pray that heavenly father will continue to comfort all these people and continue to watch over America our people and our land. May he protect and watch over our troops fighting for our country. And May we all continue to love one another as one. God bless America.
