      To my daughter, Lore’al and my family

      T here was a time in my life when I thought there was no stopping me. I was going to be somebody, A Star. I had a talent for entertaining. Not great, but good. I had the looks, the voice, charisma, confidence and boy, could I wow the crowd. I even had fans, signed autographs, guys even fought over me, both men and women bought me drinks or asked me to go on dates, been invited to parties and even sang a song that was played on the radio. I was in a rock band in the 80’s, performed in clubs of all places, Hollywood. If you weren’t any good, believe me, the people there would make sure you kn ew it.

      Every musician in our band was awesome. I sincerely mean it. Everyone had raw, natural talent. I am still ever so proud to have been a part of the group. We were called, Empire.

      I brought this part of my life up first for this when I thought I was at my best. Not for a possibility of an up and coming success in my career at the times but for me as a whole person, mentally and physically. All that I have learned and taken in and molded myself from childhood up until my early 20’s, you could say it was a time of euphoria for me.

      No one could tell me anything negative and I would adhere. I was a positive person, open-minded, outgoing, and outspoken, never loss grip of reality, still had a pleasant personality, and what we would say in Hawaii, had lots of Aloha. As far as physically, well, for someone who battled with having had Hodgkin’s disease, I was fit. I didn’t look to bad either.

      Nothing could go wrong, I was a happy camper. I thought, this is it, I’ve already been through the hardest part of my life and now I am living and feeling blissfully happy. Little did I know, my life was really just beginning. That this age of Aquarius for me would be short lived. That I, yes I, would lose my very self, literally.

      I thought that this Empire would never again be found.

      My fondest memories of my early childhood years were when my parents would take my sisters, Kathy and Charlene and I walking along Waikiki beach. We would go usually in the evening when the sun was setting and oh the colors of the sky would be breathtaking. Like paint splashed on a canvas, sometimes pink and blue, orange and red. What a beautiful sight to see my parents holding hands. My parents would stop and sit for a while, not saying a word, just looking out at the calm rolling waves of the peaceful sea. My sisters and I would be playing with the sand making sand pies or chasing after little crabs.

      How I loved when we would go to the park and my father would grab hold of our hands and one by one, spin us around. I can remember laughing and getting so dizzy and seeing how my father smiled
