Today marks the turning of a new page for the Yomai Family in particular and Akamar in general. This day was in the making the past four years and only became a concrete experience as a result of days, weeks, months, and years of dedicated work by Mi and Chii. Their voyage is a good one; one that is acutely felt because it is a plural notice, a two-some movement.
Indeed, their journey should serve as an example of our togetherness. The fact that they now "move together" and "go together" to attend college together is a strong and beautiful sisterly force to face the new world -- a world unavoidable.
Their journey is a continuation of our journey together. Their journey is our journey. Unique in its own, yet very universal and familiar in purpose. One of a kind for the individuals living it, yet it is almost as if you and I can tell what they will face and what will happen day in and day out.
The thing is, we know that their experience will add to our history of "finding our calling" and defining our lives through education and daily living. We know their trip is for the purpose of pursuing college education and higher learning. But, live is more than that. The moment their flight took off from Chuuk to the minute it should land in Hawaii, their trip is indeed about "living their lives" as sisters, as Yomais, as Akamars, and ofcourse, as twinly-individuals.
So as we readjust to the "void" in Chuuk created by Mi's and Chii's departure, we should remember that this is another "turning point" another new level that would only serve to enrich and strengthen Chii and Mii and everyone else they hold dear in their lives. We pray that they find peace and courage at their new location and that they always feel God's guidance in their situations and experience. We pray that THEY BE HAPPY so we can share in their joy as well.
Take care/ Achocho.
