Hafa adai and welcome to my Stories of Faith and Inspiration site! This site was designed as a tribute to my family and especially to my Mother and Father. Our story is about growing up in Guam as well as life right here in the United States of America where more than half of our lives are spent. They say that life is like a bouquet of roses. There are thorns that prick, scratch, and irritate, but in spite of them, the gorgeous roses permeate the air with their delightful fragrance.

These Stories of Faith and Inspiration web pages give a brief description of the thorn of the Japanese invasion and occupation of the island.  Faith in God amidst the ravages of war, death and destruction sustained my family, and divine intervention and miraculous deliverance from death deepened our love and faith in God who provided and protected us in times of great peril.

More thorns were to come for through the years, many things have happened that tried the human spirit, shaped the moral characters, and bound our family together with the golden cord of love.  My faith in God, my beliefs and values, my hopes and my dreams are shared with you through the pages of this document.
