The extent of the damage across American Samoa and Samoa isn't yet known, but my heart is heavy with worry for the people and the island and the spirit that I was fortunate enough to experience this past summer.
My holiday was more of a homecoming... it was a trip to a place of stories and legends and history and all the little pieces that make up my family... I didn't feel like a stranger in a strange land, but rather, just someone who has been away too long.
Our plan is (was) to return this summer... I want to sit on Tisa's patio and watch Yanni dance... I want to visit with the Chief and his wife and eat ice cream... I want to drive cars with dicey transmissions and brakes... I want to watch my children run with their cousins on pristine beaches and snorkel in crystal clear waters...
Keep your good thoughts coming and I will keep you posted on any news...
update: our family is fine... there is, of course, structural damage, and profound property loss, however, nothing that cannot be replaced.
