They have come and gone... Aloha 'oe

The Eggertz have finally gone home, Kaysville, UT on Tuesday morning. They came here last January for graduate studies like us. Actually, Cameron went to the same school as Juri for a master degree as well. So Cindy and I hooked up right away. We almost had similar lives here in Belgium. We both came here as students with kids and broke, unlike most of our ward who are expatriates because of their work. We had to look for housing on our own and figure things out by ourselves.
We really had a great time with them and miss them very much. They've done so much for our family and we're very grateful for it. Thanks for your parents too Cindy for all the things they brought over for us.
Taiamani misses you a lot. I don't think she understands that you guys are gone and we won't be seeing you anymore because everytime we would go in the car, she always asks if we're going to see you. ever since last week, she often asked to see Josh and Daxton and Ella. It's like she felt there was something going on with you guys.
Anyway, we hope that you arrived safely and that you are enjoying your time with the family, as well as Walmart and Costco!!!
Here's lots of love going your way...

Ha`aheo ka ua i nâ pali                         Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs
Ke nihi a`ela i ka nahele                        As it glided through the trees
E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko          Still following ever the bud
Pua `âhihi lehua o uka                           The `ahihi lehua of the vale


Hui:                                                           Chorus:
Aloha `oe, aloha `oe                               Farewell to you, farewell to you
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo                    The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers
One fond embrace,                                  One fond embrace,
A ho`i a`e au                                            'Ere I depart
Until we meet again                                Until we meet again



Aloha 'oe.... until we meet again.
