it’s pretty cool seeing how much time and effort my brother puts into his Grandson Mateus. he would do anything for this kid.
and when Mateus gets older, i’m sure he will remember his cool Grandpa. kids don’t forget things like this…
omg, look what else survived the fire at my sisters house. 
little toys she got from my Grandma Fukunaga. the kids love to play with these. so happy because you can’t find little Japanese dolls like this in Hawaii. the kids are happy too!

and i remember when Kimura-san and i stopped by the Billabong shop in Waikiki many years ago. there was a poster of a little surfer kid by name of Seth Moniz. now this little kid is super famous and on the World Tour. BELIEVE…
