In the early 1900s Woody grew up running barefoot in the lush valleys of Territorial Hawaii. From camping at Kailua Beach with his buddies to raising his family, he's immersed in the dynamic changes of the Paradise of the Pacific. As he approaches ninety he insists he's too busy to die. A tale told within tales with photos of Old Hawaii, signature dishes, and unforgettable dreams, Pam Chun's lyrical memoir of her father describes their bond across time and distance. He wails at aging. She's frustrated by caring for him from 3,000 miles away, relatives who don't agree on his care, don't approve of her, and issues she didn't think she'd face. Includes family photos never before published and signature recipes. Includes 10 Things I learned about Distance Caregiving Includes Nation-wide Caregiving Resources and specialized Hawaii resources.
