E like me ka makuahine, paʻakikī ka hana a ka makuakāne a i kekahi manawa he mea hoʻonāukiuki hoʻi i ka hānai ʻana i nā keiki.Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole like me nā makuahine, ʻaʻole i lawa ka ʻike ʻia o nā makua no kā lākou kuleana i ko mākou ola.
He poʻe pūliki lākou, hoʻolaha i nā ʻakaʻaka maikaʻi ʻole a me nā mea pepehi ʻino.Hoʻohauʻoli nā makuakāne iā mākou ma ko mākou wahi kiʻekiʻe a aʻo iā mākou pehea e lanakila ai i ka helu haʻahaʻa.
Ua aʻo ʻo Pāpā iā mākou i ke kīloi pōhili a i ʻole ka pāʻani pôpeku.I ko mākou kaʻa ʻana, lawe mai lākou i kā mākou huila paʻa a me nā niho i ka hale kūʻai no ka mea ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike ua paʻa kā mākou huila a manaʻo wale nō he pilikia i ka huila (e kala mai e papa).
No ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka lā Makua i kēia makahiki, mahalo ʻo Greeley Tribune i nā makua kāne like ʻole o ko mākou kaiāulu ma ka haʻi ʻana i nā moʻolelo a me nā ʻike o ko lākou makuakāne.
He makua kāne kā mākou, he makua kāne hoʻokō kānāwai, he makua kāne hoʻokahi, he makua hānai, he stepfather, he makua kāne ahi, he makua makua, he keikikāne kāne, a he makua kāne ʻōpio.
ʻOiai he makua kāne kēlā me kēia kanaka, loaʻa i kēlā me kēia kanaka ko lākou moʻolelo ponoʻī a me ka ʻike i ka mea a ka poʻe i kapa ʻia ʻo "ka hana maikaʻi loa ma ka honua".
Ua loaʻa iā mākou nā papa inoa he nui e pili ana i kēia moʻolelo mai ke kaiāulu, a ʻo ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke kākau i ka inoa o kēlā me kēia makuakāne.Manaʻo ka Tribune e hoʻololi i kēia ʻatikala i hanana makahiki i hiki ai iā mākou ke hōʻike hou aku i nā moʻolelo o ka makua kāne i ko mākou kaiāulu.No laila, e hoʻomanaʻo i kēia mau makua kāne i kēia makahiki aʻe, no ka mea, makemake mākou e haʻi i kā lākou mau moʻolelo.
No nā makahiki he nui, ua lawelawe ʻo Mike Peters ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻolaha no ka nūpepa e haʻi aku i nā kaiāulu ʻo Greeley a me Weld County i ka hewa, nā mākaʻi, a me nā ʻike koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe.Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia i ke kākau ʻana no ka Tribune, kaʻana like i kona mau manaʻo ma ka "Rough Trombone" i kēlā me kēia Pōʻaono, a kākau i nā hōʻike mōʻaukala no ke kolamu "100 Years Ago".
ʻOiai he mea maikaʻi ke kaulana i ke kaiāulu no ka poʻe nūpepa, hiki ke hoʻonāukiuki i kā lākou mau keiki.
"Inā ʻaʻohe mea e ʻōlelo mai, 'ʻAe, ʻo ʻoe ke keiki a Mike Peters,' ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hele ma kahi ʻē," wahi a Vanessa Peters-Leonard me ka ʻakaʻaka.“Ua ʻike nā kānaka a pau i koʻu makuakāne.He mea maikaʻi ke ʻike ʻole ka poʻe iā ia.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mick: "Pono wau e hana me koʻu makuakāne i nā manawa he nui, e kau i ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale, a hoʻi mai i ka wā palekana."“Pono wau e hālāwai me kahi hui o nā kānaka.He leʻaleʻa.Aia ʻo Pāpā i ka pāpaho e hālāwai ai ʻo ia me nā ʻano kanaka āpau.ʻO kekahi o nā mea. "
ʻO ka maikaʻi maikaʻi o Mike Peters ma ke ʻano he mea kākau moʻolelo he hopena koʻikoʻi iā Mick lāua ʻo Vanessa i ko lāua ulu ʻana.
"Inā ua aʻo au i kekahi mea mai koʻu makuakāne, ʻo ke aloha a me ka pono," i wehewehe ai ʻo Vanessa."Mai kāna hana i kona ʻohana a me kāna mau hoaaloha, ʻo ia kēia.Ke hilinaʻi nei ka poʻe iā ia ma muli o kāna kūpaʻa kākau ʻana, kona pilina me nā kānaka, a me ka mālama ʻana iā lākou ma ke ʻano e makemake ai kekahi e mālama ʻia.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mick, ʻo ka hoʻomanawanui a me ka hoʻolohe ʻana i nā mea ʻē aʻe nā mea nui ʻelua āna i aʻo ai mai kona makuakāne.
"Pono ʻoe e hoʻomanawanui, pono ʻoe e hoʻolohe," wahi a Mick.“ʻO ia kekahi o nā kānaka hoʻomanawanui loa aʻu i ʻike ai.Ke aʻo nei au i ka hoʻomanawanui a me ka hoʻolohe.He ola ia, akā ua haku ʻo ia. "
ʻO kekahi mea a nā keiki a Peters i aʻo ai mai ko lākou makuakāne a me ko lākou makuahine ka mea e hana ai i ka male maikaʻi a me ka pilina.
"He pilina ikaika loa ko lākou, he pilina ikaika loa.Ke kākau mau nei ʻo ia i nā leka aloha iā ia, "wahi a Vanessa."He mea liʻiliʻi ia, ʻoiai he kanaka makua, ke nānā nei au a manaʻo wau e like me ka male ʻana."
ʻAʻole pili i nā makahiki o kāu mau keiki, e lilo mau ʻoe i mau mākua no lākou, akā no ka ʻohana Peters, ʻoiai e ulu ana ʻo Vanessa lāua ʻo Mick, ua like kēia pilina me kahi hoaaloha.
Noho ʻo ia ma ka sofa a nānā iā Vanessa lāua ʻo Mick, maʻalahi ka ʻike ʻana i ka haʻaheo, aloha a me ka mahalo iā Mike Peters no kāna mau keiki makua ʻelua a me nā poʻe i lilo ai lāua.
"He ʻohana maikaʻi ko mākou a he ʻohana aloha," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Mike Peters i kāna leo palupalu."Haʻaheo loa wau iā lākou."
ʻOiai hiki iā Vanessa lāua ʻo Mick ke papa inoa i nā mea he nui a lāua i aʻo ai mai ko lāua makuakāne i nā makahiki, no ka makuakāne hou ʻo Tommy Dyer, he kumu kāna mau keiki ʻelua a he haumāna ʻo ia.
ʻO Tommy Dyer ka mea nona ka Brix Brew a me Tap.Aia ma 8th St. 813, ʻo Tommy Dyer ka makua kāne o ʻelua mau blonde beauties-3 1/2 makahiki ʻo Lyon a me 8 mau mahina ʻo Lucy.
"I ka wā i loaʻa ai iā mākou kahi keikikāne, ua hoʻomaka pū mākou i kēia ʻoihana, no laila ua hoʻopukapuka nui au i hoʻokahi swoop," wahi a Dell.“Ua pilikia loa ka makahiki mua.Ua lōʻihi loa ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i koʻu makua kāne.ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo he makua kāne a hiki i ka hānau ʻana o (Lucy).
Ma hope o ka hānau ʻana o Dale i kāna kaikamahine ʻōpio, ua loli kona manaʻo no ka makua kāne.I ka wā e pili ana iā Lucy, ʻo kāna hākōkō koʻikoʻi a me ka hoʻolei ʻana me Lyon kahi mea āna e noʻonoʻo ai.
"Ua like au me he mea pale.Manaʻo wau ʻo ia ke kāne i loko o kona ola ma mua o kona male ʻana, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia me ka puliki ʻana i kāna kaikamahine liʻiliʻi.
Ma ke ʻano he makua o nā keiki ʻelua e nānā a hoʻopaʻa i nā mea āpau, ua aʻo koke ʻo Dell i ka hoʻomanawanui a hoʻolohe i kāna mau ʻōlelo a me kāna mau hana.
"E pili ana nā mea liʻiliʻi iā lākou, no laila pono ʻoe e ʻōlelo i nā mea kūpono a puni lākou," wahi a Dell."He mau huaʻai liʻiliʻi lākou, no laila he mea nui kāu mau ʻōlelo a me kāu mau hana."
Hoʻokahi mea makemake nui ʻo Dyer e ʻike i ke ʻano o ka ulu ʻana o ko Leon a me Lucy pilikino a me ke ʻano o ko lāua ʻokoʻa.
"ʻO Leon ke ʻano o ke kanaka maʻemaʻe, a ʻo ia ke ʻano ʻino, kino piha," wahi āna.“He ʻakaʻaka loa ia.”
"ʻOiaʻiʻo, hana ikaika ʻo ia," wahi āna."He nui nā pō ʻaʻole wau i ka home.Akā maikaʻi ka manawa me lākou i ke kakahiaka a mālama i kēia kaulike.ʻO kēia ka hoʻoikaika pū ʻana o ke kāne a me ka wahine, ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hana me ka ʻole o ia.
I ka nīnau ʻia ʻana he aha kāna ʻōlelo aʻo e hāʻawi ai i nā makuakāne hou, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Dale ʻaʻole ʻo ka makuakāne he mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomākaukau.Ua hiki mai, "hoʻoponopono a hoʻoholo ʻoe".
"ʻAʻohe puke a i ʻole kekahi mea āu e heluhelu ai," wahi āna."He ʻokoʻa kēlā me kēia kanaka a loaʻa nā kūlana like ʻole.No laila, ʻo kaʻu ʻōlelo aʻo e hilinaʻi i kou mau manaʻo a loaʻa ka ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha ma kou ʻaoʻao.
He paʻakikī ke lilo i makua.ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o nā makuahine hoʻokahi.Akā ʻo ka makua hoʻokahi o ke keiki o ka wahine ʻē aʻe kekahi o nā hana paʻakikī.
ʻO Greeley kamaʻāina ʻo Cory Hill a me kāna kaikamahine 12 makahiki ʻo Ariana ua hoʻokō i ka paʻakikī o ka lilo ʻana i makua hoʻokahi, koe wale nō ka lilo ʻana i makua kāne hoʻokahi no kahi kaikamahine.Ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Hill i ka mālama ʻana i ka wā i aneane 3 mau makahiki o Ariane.
"He makua kāne ʻōpio wau;"Ua hānau au iā ia i ka 20 o koʻu mau makahiki.E like me nā kāne ʻōpio he nui, ʻaʻole mākou i hoʻoikaika kino no nā kumu like ʻole, "i wehewehe ai ʻo Hill."ʻAʻole kona makuahine i kahi e hiki ai iā ia ke hāʻawi iā ia i ka mālama āna e pono ai, no laila he mea kūpono iaʻu ke ʻae iā ia e hana manawa piha.Noho ʻo ia ma kēia mokuʻāina.”
ʻO nā kuleana o ka makua kāne o kahi keiki liʻiliʻi i kōkua iā Hill e ulu wikiwiki, a ua hoʻomaikaʻi ʻo ia i kāna kaikamahine no ka "mālama pono iā ia a mālama iā ia".
"Inā ʻaʻole iaʻu kēlā kuleana, hiki iaʻu ke hele i ke ola me ia," wahi āna."Manaʻo wau he mea maikaʻi kēia a he pōmaikaʻi no kāua."
Ke ulu nei me hoʻokahi kaikunāne a ʻaʻohe kaikuahine e ʻōlelo ai, pono ʻo Hill e aʻo i nā mea āpau e pili ana i ka hānai ʻana i kāna kaikamahine iā ia iho.
“I kona ulu ʻana aʻe, he ʻano aʻo ia.Aia ʻo ia i ka wā ʻōpio, a he nui nā mea pilikanaka ʻaʻole au i ʻike pehea e hana ai a pane aku ai.ʻO nā hoʻololi kino, a me nā loli naʻau i ʻike ʻole ʻia e kekahi o mākou," wahi a Hill me ka ʻakaʻaka.“ʻO ka manawa mua kēia no kāua, a e hoʻomaikaʻi paha ia i nā mea.ʻAʻole wau he loea i kēia wahi-a ʻaʻole wau i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "
Ke kū mai nā pilikia e like me ka menstruation, bras a me nā pilikia ʻē aʻe e pili ana i nā wahine, hana pū ʻo Hill lāua ʻo Ariana e hoʻoponopono iā lākou, noiʻi huahana a kamaʻilio me nā hoaaloha wahine a me ka ʻohana.
"Pōmaikaʻi ʻo ia i ka loaʻa ʻana o kekahi mau kumu maikaʻi ma ke kula haʻahaʻa, a ʻo ia a me ke ʻano o nā kumu i pili maoli i waiho iā ia ma lalo o ko lākou pale a hāʻawi i ke kuleana o ka makuahine," wahi a Hill."Manaʻo wau he mea kōkua maoli ia.Manaʻo ʻo ia aia nā wahine a puni iā ​​​​ia e hiki ke loaʻa ka mea hiki ʻole iaʻu ke hāʻawi.
ʻO nā paʻakikī ʻē aʻe no Hill ma ke ʻano he makua hoʻokahi, ʻo ia ka hiki ʻole ke hele i kahi i ka manawa like, ʻo ia ka mea hoʻoholo hoʻokahi a ʻo ia wale nō ka mea nāna e mālama.
"Ua koi ʻia ʻoe e hana i kāu hoʻoholo ponoʻī.ʻAʻohe ou manaʻo ʻelua e hoʻōki a kōkua i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kēia pilikia, "wahi a Hill."He paʻakikī mau ia, a e hoʻonui ai i kekahi degere o ke kaumaha, no ka mea inā ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hānai maikaʻi i kēia keiki, naʻu wale nō."
E hāʻawi ʻo Hill i kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻo i nā mākua hoʻokahi ʻē aʻe, ʻoi aku ka poʻe makua kāne i ʻike he mau mākua hoʻokahi lākou, pono ʻoe e ʻimi i kahi ala e hoʻoponopono ai i ka pilikia a hana i kēlā me kēia pae.
“I ka wā i loaʻa mua iaʻu ka mālama ʻana iā Ariana, ua paʻa wau i ka hana;ʻAʻohe aʻu kālā;Pono au e ʻaiʻē kālā e hoʻolimalima hale.Ua hakakā mākou no kekahi manawa, "wahi a Hill.“He pupule kēia.ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo e kūleʻa mākou a hiki i kēia mamao, akā i kēia manawa he hale nani kā mākou, kahi ʻoihana maikaʻi.He mea pupule ka nui o kou hiki ke ike ole oe.Piʻi.”
Noho ʻo Anderson ma ka hale ʻaina ʻo The Bricktop Grill, ua ʻakaʻaka ʻo Anderson, ʻoiai ua piha kona mau maka i ka waimaka, i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo ia e kamaʻilio e pili ana iā Kelsey.
"ʻAʻole loa koʻu makuakāne ola i loko o koʻu ola.ʻAʻole ia e kāhea;ʻAʻole ʻo ia e nānā, ʻaʻohe mea, no laila ʻaʻole wau e manaʻo iā ia koʻu makuakāne, "wahi a Anderson.“I koʻu 3 makahiki, ua nīnau au iā Kelsey inā makemake ʻo ia e lilo i makuakāne noʻu, a ʻōlelo ʻo ia.Nui nā mea āna i hana ai.Noho mau ʻo ia ma kona ʻaoʻao, he mea nui ia iaʻu. "
"Ma ke kula waena a me koʻu makahiki hou a me ka makahiki ʻelua, ua kamaʻilio ʻo ia iaʻu e pili ana i ke kula a me ke koʻikoʻi o ke kula," wahi āna."Ua manaʻo wau makemake wale ʻo ia e hānai iaʻu, akā ua aʻo wau ma hope o ka pau ʻana o kekahi mau papa."
ʻOiai ua lawe ʻo Anderson i nā papa ma ka pūnaewele ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi maʻi, ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia ua noi ʻo Kelsey iā ia e ala kakahiaka e hoʻomākaukau no ke kula, me he mea lā ua hele kino ʻo ia i ka papa.
"Aia kahi papa manawa piha, no laila hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopau i nā hana kula a hoʻomau i ka hoʻoikaika," wahi a Anderson.
