    I grew up in Waiahole and knew Mrs. Matayoshi. We would always stop and buy her papaya and banana. At times we would walk with her as she wheeled her wheel barrow to the main highway to take her place on the side of the road. She did not want anyone to help her, she was independent. This past May I went home to visit after 40 years and I did not recognize many of the places there. The school had changed and not all of the building there were there while I attended Waiahole Elementary and Intermediate School. My sister and a friend taught at Waiahole E & I school. I do miss the old days but not willing to live the life style again. We were poor and had to work at the School Cafeteria to pay for our lunches. The Cafeteria Manager was kind and always sent home SHORTBREAD COOKIES for my Grandma. Shortbread cookies became my favorite cookie to this day.

    Such an interesting story, immortalized by an iconic song. That woman is a great example of hard work, kindness and perseverance. I’m sure she’s heard this song from the eternal realms of the spirit world, which is not even far from us.
