DH and I had to postpone our honeymoon because he was going through chemotherapy the year we were married. So, in 1996, we decided to have a spectacular trip to Hawaii to celebrate not just our wedding, but his survival.
We spent the first week on O'ahu and the second on Maui.
We fell in love with Maui. We stayed at a hotel just outside of the historic town of Lahaina. The town, the people, and the food were all so amazing.
And I can't say anymore without crying.
Because the town is literally gone.
A wildfire spurred by drought and the winds of Hurricane Dora swept through Lahaina late Tuesday and Wednesday. By Thursday morning, the town was a pile of ash and debris.
If you wish to help, I suggest the Maui Strong Fund.
This is a situation where thoughts and prayers aren't enough.
