The Sorrow of Christmas
Christmas is full of joy and laughter. A chance to be with family, friends and loved ones. Christmas is also a time of painful goodbyes and memories of years past.
This past month my parents came over for the holiday season and after not seeing them for over two years, I had such fun having them around. This morning I dropped them off to the airport so they can play “tourist” for a week; visiting some beautiful places out country has to offer. Although, I will see them in a week my heart still hurts.
When enjoying the Holiday season with your loved ones, keep an eye out on those who are missing someone. Be compassionate and be a keeper of you fellow brothers and sisters. God Bless. PJSLB
Only on Guam (Video)
I am always asked how life was on Guam and if it was worth it to go back. Yes, it was worth it! My daughters have a renewed sense of pride of where they came from. Being able to live on Guam (and Philippines and Japan) is something that has shaped their lives for the better.
Any picture I take of Guam will not do it justice. I did find a video from the Guam Visitors Bureau that showcases the beauty on Guam. Enjoy, God Bless and to all on Guam…BIBA!!! -PJSLB
Guam remembers Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor was an event that will live in infamy in the hearts and minds of all Americans. I can only imagine the horror and confusion that took place on that fateful day. Actually, i CAN imagine what it was like. As a son of New York, I know what it is like to see the place you grew up in change in just an instant.
What many people may not realize is that the attacks on that day was not just on Pearl Harbor. Thousands of miles away west of Hawaii (and a whole lot closer to Japan), The beautiful island of Guam was attacked as well and became Japanese territory. You can read a fabulous story about that fateful day on Guam from The Pacific Daily News.
Guam is a hidden gem that every American should visit. There is no place in the world that delivers the way Guam does. Guam is a melting pot of American, Asian, and Pacific Island culture and traditions. Pictures of Guam do not do it justice. It is much more beautiful in person.
On a day that we remember the lives of those lost at Pearl Harbor, please say a prayer for the people on Guam such as Cleotide Bamba, 84 whose life was also changed on that fateful day despite being thousands of miles away from Pearl Harbor.
In his name we all live. – PJSLB
