I ka mahina i hala aku nei, ua loaʻa i kaʻu kaikamahine kokoke i 2 mau makahiki i kāna pana mua COVID-19. He mea hōʻoluʻolu! Ua uhi ʻia kona ola i kēia manawa e ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19. E like me nā ʻohana he nui i ka wā maʻi maʻi, nui nā nīnau i pilikia iaʻu me kaʻu kāne e pili ana i ka mea palekana e hana ai, ʻo wai ka mea palekana ke ʻike, a ma ke ʻano maʻamau pehea e mālama ai i ka pilikia o ka maʻi o kā mākou keiki. ʻO ka hiki iā ia ke hāʻawi iā ia i kahi palekana hou aʻe mai COVID-19 i lawe mai iā mākou i kahi maluhia o ka noʻonoʻo. He mea maʻalahi ka hoʻonohonoho mua ʻana i ka ʻike ʻana i nā hoaaloha a me ka ʻohana, a me ka leʻaleʻa wale i nā huakaʻi o ka wā kamaliʻi.
Loaʻa iaʻu me kaʻu kāne i kā mākou mau pana a me nā mea hoʻoikaika i ka wā hiki loa iā mākou. Akā, ua lōʻihi ka kali ʻana no nā kamaliʻi a me nā pēpē e ʻae ʻia, he mea paʻakikī i kekahi manawa. ʻO kaʻu ʻano maikaʻi ma luna o ia, ʻo ia ka mea e hāʻawi iā mākou i kahi hōʻoia hou e pili ana i ka palekana a me ka maikaʻi o ke kano - ʻo ka hopena, ʻo ka manawa hou i lawe ʻia no ka ʻae ʻia ʻo ia ka mea hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa ka manaʻoʻiʻo i ka kano a me kona hoʻomohala ʻana.
ʻAʻole hopohopo kā mākou kaikamahine i ka ʻike o ka lāʻau lapaʻau. I ka kali ʻana o māua ʻelua i ka laina no kekahi o nā keʻena lapaʻau maʻi maʻi kelepona o Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), hīmeni mākou i nā mele a pāʻani me kekahi mau mea pāʻani. He noi kaulana ʻo "Wheels on the Bus", no ka mea, ua hauʻoli loa kaʻu kaikamahine i ka loaʻa ʻana o kāna pana ma luna o kahi kaʻa. (No ka lua o kāna hoʻopaʻa ʻana, hiki paha iā mākou ke loaʻa kahi keʻena lapaʻau lapaʻau ma ke kaʻaahi choo choo, a ʻaʻole paha ʻo ia e haʻalele.) ʻOiai ke kali ʻana ma ka laina, he mea wikiwiki loa ia. Aia kekahi mau waimaka i ka wā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ka pana, akā ua ola koke ʻo ia a, laki, ʻaʻole i loaʻa nā hopena ʻaoʻao.
No nā ʻohana he nui, he hoʻoholo paʻakikī paha kēia, no laila e kamaʻilio pono me kāu kauka a i ʻole nā poloka mālama ola olakino e pili ana i nā pilikia a me nā pōmaikaʻi. Akā, no mākou, he manawa ia o ka hoʻolauleʻa a me ka hōʻoluʻolu - e like me ka wā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia mākou iā mākou iho!
ʻAʻole i pau ka maʻi maʻi a ʻaʻole e pale ka lāʻau lapaʻau i kā mākou kaikamahine mai nā mea āpau akā he hana ʻē aʻe ia i kā mākou mea maʻamau hou. Mahalo nui wau i nā kauka, nā mea noiʻi, a me nā ʻohana i kōkua i ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia kano no mākou a pau, i kēia manawa me nā keiki ʻōpio.
