ʻAʻole lauoho hūpō
He kanaonokūmālua ko Sully makahiki a ʻaʻole naʻaupō ʻoiai, e like me ka ʻōlelo a kekahi o kāna mau hoaaloha, he poʻokela ia o nā hana lapuwale. Noho ʻo ia ma North Bath, kahi kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, e like me ia, ua ʻike i nā manawa ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
ʻO ke keikikāne a kahi ʻona ʻinoʻino nāna i luku i kona makuahine a me kona kaikaina, ʻo Sully kekahi me kāna mau minamina a me nā minus me ka wai ʻona, a ua loaʻa iā ia kahi ala e hana hou ʻole ai i ka moʻolelo o kona makuakāne e ka hōʻole ʻana i nā hoʻohiki ʻana, e waiho ana i kahi mamao e hiki ai iā ia ke aloha. .
Ua haʻalele ʻo ia i ka wahine ma hope koke o ka male ʻana, he keikikāne kāna i hana ʻino ʻole ai akā ʻaʻole ia i mālama, a ua ola i kēlā me kēia lā ma o ka hana lima lima paʻakikī - ʻoiai kona ʻike - a hōʻole i ka hiki ke waiwai iā ia iho. ʻAʻole ia he ola hauʻoli ʻole.
He kāne maikaʻi a koʻikoʻi ʻo Sully ʻoiai ʻo kāna pakele, a he mau hoaaloha kāna a me kahi ipo i koi ʻole iā ia. Akā i kēia manawa ua hōʻea ʻo ia i ka makahiki ke ola ke ola, a ʻike ʻo ia iā ia iho mai ka hana a ma ke kaʻe o ka panakalupa, me hoʻokahi kuli i kīnā ʻole ʻia e ka ulia a me ka maʻi ʻōpala, kahi mea kōkua naʻaupō naʻaupō a me kahi van naha.
A kāna keiki hoʻi, mai ka hana a i waena o kahi pōpilikia male, ua hoʻi i North Bath. Akā paha e hoʻoikaika kēlā hui hou iā Sully e kāohi i kona ola, a ʻae iā ia e wehe i kekahi mau knots o kona hala.

ʻAʻole maikaʻi nā ʻāpana ʻelua. Inā ʻaʻole lawa ʻoe iā Richard Russo aloha e hele i loko o nā lula ʻōlelo ʻole e pili ana i kekahi hanana.
A hele mai kēia ʻāpana ʻelua o ka hui hou ʻana me Sully. ʻO kahi mahele hou e kūleʻa e like me ka mea ma mua no ka mea ʻaʻole ia ka ʻāpana ʻelua o kahi mea pohihihi a i ʻole kahi huakaʻi huakaʻi. ʻO ka ʻāpana mua he mea ia no Sully a me kāna mau kūlana a ma kēia ʻāpana ʻelua ʻo ka hui pū ʻana me ia he ʻano ʻoiaʻiʻo a pīhoihoi hoʻi e like me ka mea ma mua.
ʻO ka Sully hiki ʻole ke pale aku, i ka mea nona ka lima kahi waiwai nui i hāʻule ʻole i loko o nā makahiki mai ia manawa, ke kū nei i kahi hōʻailona mai ke kauka ʻo Veterans Association aia ma waena o hoʻokahi a me ʻelua mau makahiki e ola ai, a he uku nui iā ia e hūnā i ka nūhou mai ka mea nui loa. ka poʻe i kona ola: ʻo Ruta, ka wahine i male ʻia me ia i pili ai i nā makahiki he nui; ʻO Rub Squeers, ka supergafe, hopohopo e hōʻoia i ka noho mau o Sully kāna hoaaloha maikaʻi loa; Ke keiki a Sully a me kāna moʻopuna, mai kahi o kāna mau ola āna i hala mua ai (a mihi i kēia manawa).
Ua hauʻoli pū mākou i ka hui ʻo Doug Raymer, ke aliʻi mākaʻi kūloko, i pīhoihoi ma mua o nā mea āpau me ka ʻike ʻana i ke ʻano o ke kāne a kāna wahine e holo aku ai inā ʻaʻole ʻo ia e ʻeha, ma mua wale nō, kahi ulia pōʻino loa.

A ʻo ka loaʻa iā mākou ʻo Charice Bond, ke kukui ma ka hope o ke ana āna i laka ai ke komo ʻo ia i kāna keʻena, a me kona kaikunāne ʻo Jerome, ʻo ia nō paha ke kaʻaahi e komo i ke ana i ka wikiwiki a me ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe.

Ke kauwela kupua ma Cape Cod
Ua hoʻi nā mea i loko o kēia puke, hoʻi i kēlā ʻāina o nā mākua a me ka wā kamaliʻi, o ka wā i hala i hoʻomanaʻo ʻia a me nā ʻino o ka ʻuhane, kahi e aʻo ai i nā mea āpau a kahi e poina ai ke keiki a no laila e hauʻoli ...
Akā, ʻaʻole ia he moʻolelo koʻikoʻi. Ma ke ala like ʻaʻole he pāʻani koʻikoʻi ke ola ke lawe ʻo ia iā ʻoe i kāna mau hiʻohiʻona hoihoi loa. E pili ana i kēlā melancholy e ʻakaʻaka a uē paha ʻoe i kekahi manawa, e lawe ana iā ʻoe i kahi āu e palupalu ai e like me kou wā kamaliʻi a ʻōpio ʻaʻole ʻoe e noho hou.
He kanakolu mau makahiki i hala aku nei, i ko lākou manawa aloha i Cape Cod, kahi o kā lākou wā hoʻomaha kamaliʻi, ua hoʻolālā ʻo Jack lāua ʻo Joy Griffin i kahi hoʻolālā no ka wā e hiki mai ana, ma ka hapa nui, ua hoʻokō ʻia.
I kēia manawa ua hoʻi lāua ʻelua ma Cape Cod e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka male o kā lāua kaikamahine hoa aloha ʻo Laura. Hoʻokele ʻo Jack ma ke kaʻa me ka lehu o kona makuakāne i loko o ka pahu ʻoiai e kāhea pinepine kona makuahine i kāna kelepona paʻalima.
Akā i ka hala ʻana o hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana o ka male a kāna kaikamahine ʻo Laura, hele pū ka urn o kona makuahine me kona makuakāne i loko o ke kumu (ʻoiai ʻaʻole e hoʻomaha iki kona leo iā ia), a ʻaʻole ʻo Joy a ʻo ia hou pū kekahi. Pehea lākou i hiki ai i kēlā kiko ma ke ala?
