No words exist to fully describe the pain and sorrow I feel about loosing not only my dear cousin, but my best friend since our birth because I am 1 month and 3 days older. I will forever miss our Thursday breakfast dates because that was her day off. She would text me at 5 am in the morning and ask “hungry?” or “ready for breakfast?” We would then pick a restaurant to meet, and one of her favorites was Country Style Kitchen in Ewa Beach. In addition to our breakfast choice, we loved sharing their huge pancake and always tried a different flavor. During breakfast we would start our talks with our favorite subjects- our grandkids! We always knew what each of our grandkids was up to! Then we would literally talk about anything on our minds! And I mean anything! No subject was off the table or embarrassing! She knew all my secrets, and I knew hers. Then when it came time to pay the bill, it was like that bank commercial “I got it!” “No, I got it!”. We would literally throw our debit cards at the waitress! But after a few months, we took a more mature approach to it by just taking turns! When breakfast was over we always hugged and kissed each other and said “I love you.” - I will miss this the most.
