Dear Koji and Eriko,
Please except my deepest sympathies on the passing of Maoil. I feel privledged to have met all of you and to have been able to pray for assistence for you.
Your letter has brought to mind many things for me, among them the
poem and two sayings I have written below. I especially try to live the
" Serenity Prayer " everyday. I believe you most certainly did for Maoli.
Serenity Prayer
G - D, grant me the courage to change the things I can change,
The serenity to accept those I cannot change,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
But G - D, grant me the courage not to give up on what I think is right,
even though I think it is hopeless.
by Chester Nimitz
You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when
you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in
the spirit of Love.
by Henry Drummond
Maoli certainly accomplished this :
If the essence of my being has caused a smile to have appeared
upon your face, or a touch of joy within your heart,
then in living - I have made my mark.
by Thomas L. Odem, Jr.
May Father / Mother G - D, G -D / G -dess Creator, heal you,fill you with Light and Love, and bring you serenity and Peace.

Dear Koji and Eriko,
I just read your letter a few moments ago. The emotion in it is so powerful and can be felt with every single word. I feel your pain expressed through your words and my heart goes out to you both. I am absolutely sincere in saying I wish you peace of mind..
Maoli was a sweet little baby girl and she choose you and Eriko to be her parents for a reason I believe. Koji, think about this for just a moment. Maoli would not have chosen you if she thought you would make mistakes in her major decisions that she knew would be coming up one day. I feel certain that you did exactly as she would have wanted. Please try and rest your hearts and know that you did all you could as loving parents. It will get easier in time. I know this. It takes time, but it does happen. It doesn't make it easier knowing this, but the memories will change with time Koji and all become good. I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard and difficult I know.
To see the updates on this as they occured and to read your mail Koji, you are a pillar of strength and the epitomy of a good parent. You are stronger than you feel at this moment. You are an example to all of us in what parenthood and sacrifice are all about.
I send you both love with every blessing in the whole world. I wish you peace of mind with a strong sense of knowing you did everything right and good for your daughter. I send you love.
I also like LInda C, feel it has been a priviledge to have been involved in Maoli's life and in offering her prayers. This honor has changed me and set me on my path. I am forever grateful Koji...
Sincerely, Jennifer
Greetings everyone,
Koji has sent me this email, and as it applies to all of us here equally, he has kindly consented to me posting it publicly. It speaks for itself.
Please feel free to add your thoughts to this topic.
Thanks once again to everyone.
With kind regards,
Adrian.
Dear Adrian, and all the people love Maoli,
We want to say thank you so much from bottom of our heart.
I was so worry about loosing Maoli. Three of us lived together
at the hospital last one year with fear of loosing the precious time.
Now, I don't and I can't worry about blood test result or any change on
medical conditon of Maoli. It is strang feeling that life without no fear.
There are scenes constantry attacking me, such as a scene when
we had to take crying Maoli to the operation room, when we had to
leave her at ICU room, when Maoli looked us with worry on her face.
When these scenes were attacking me, I bit my back teeth hard and
waited for the pain to be gone through. Did I do everything right?
My decisions what I made for Maoli were realy she wanted?
I want to see her again.
I understand that I have to fight with this and be strong for Eriko.
There are so many peaceful and precious memories of Maoli that
give me a strength of life. With all of these precious memories of
Maoli and all of your surports, soon we will be fine.
Again, Thank you so much for your surports and I am sorry that
I couldn't write you sooner.
Koji, Eriko,
