Goodbyes are never easy...

"But what would he say, if he could have the last word today?  Maybe something in Hawaiian or maybe a joke told differently than you had ever heard it.  What would he say, this man who in 94 short years went from using a knife to cut sugar cane to using a knife to fix living hearts?  What would he say?  I imagine he would say, “Use my life as an example. Aim high, follow your dreams, pursue your aspirations, never give up."
