At a very young age, when we lived in Ewa Beach, Papa was babysitting Justin and I. I remember Justin and I were upstairs playing and I looked out the window, Papa was building something for his garden. I remember thinking that I wanted to be just like him. He was such a hard-working man, always moving and always doing a type of work. When we all moved to Waipahu, I was entering my 2nd year of middle school. I remember every morning before I would leave for school, Papa was always outside either watering his garden, fixing things around the house, cleaning, or preparing food for lunch and dinner. When I would leave, I would always say goodbye to him and most of the time he would give me 10 or 20 dollars so I could buy food on my way to school. There was never a time where I would come home from school and there wasn’t anything to eat. Papa always and I mean always had food on the table. Man…he loved to cook.If you knew Papa the way I knew him..if you saw what I saw…he was a man of extraordinary capacity, kind, generous, strong-willed, a very hard working man, and someone who loved and cherished his family. His love and kindness were infused in everything he did. I realize now, that no one can compare.Papa, These past few months we had to endure without you were absolutely unbearable. Thank You for everything you have done for our family. I hope someday that I am at least half the person you are.I Love You and I will miss you dearly!Your B-ting-Brittney Alexis Caparas Reel
