Congratulations from Cambodia! I lived in Hawai'i for 9 years mostly on the Waianae side, but Kahuku, Hauula has a place in my heart too. I stayed at the beach there some of the time when I was homeless and visited again after I published bilingual Hawaii-English books. Wonderful place and so nice to see this celebration.
such a beautiful journey, i hope he lives a long, healthy life... he is here to inspire us to be better humans, to lead with our hearts and vulnerability.. may Kahuna IAM live forever!!!
IAM I KNEW FROM THE SECOND I HEARD YOU SING IN YOUR AUDITION THAT YOU WERE GOING TO WIN . YOUR FATHER WAS WITH YOU THE WHOLE JOURNEY I COULD SEE HIM I COULD HEAR HIM . YOU SING AND IT BRINGS A SMILE TO MY FACE ..CONGRATS YESSIR
Congratulations Iam! Totally proud and happy for you. It’s a new journey for you so use it well. It’s a blessing , a god given gift. Good luck and many blessings always ✨✨❤️✨✨
I feel Iams dad would have given him the world... And I think this is his way of doing it even though he couldn't stay longer.🦋 Forever praying for you and your family Iam. You make us all proud!! Stay true to yourself, and stay happy.. Everything will be alright. Much love from Missouri❤❤
