If you’re like me, you’re missing so many people - some near, some far, and some who’ve passed. You’re holding your co-quarantined ohana close and FaceTiming with those beyond your household walls. You’re eager for the day you’re reunited with those loved ones. To them, you can say haʻo au ia ʻoe [hah-oh ow ee-ah oy], meaning “I miss you” in Hawaiian.
