Memorial Day evening a lantern lighting ceremony was held at Ala Moana Beach Park to honor and remember those who have passed on.

As my family looked on from their blanket on the sand, I waved good-bye and waded into the warm, calm water. Amidst the hundreds of people standing at the waters edge, it was such an experience to watch the floating lanterns drift out to sea. I was impressed by how polite the crowd was. It really added to the reverence of the evening.
