I was hoping my friend Kevin Jakahi might be at Saturday's Newspaper Guild Christmas party in Hilo. Local sports fans remember Kevin's work for the Hawaii Tribune-Herald where he and I worked together for at least 15 years. I haven't seen him in months.

But Kevin's still having a rough go with leukemia and hasn't worked in over a year. Take a
a look at his Web site and you'll see why he didn't make it to the party. Better yet, read his two articles there and perhaps find yourself a new perspective on life.

Kevin e-mailed his regrets about the union party (his wife Ayako and "The Little One," his daughter Karina, were a pleasure to see however). He also said he's "feeling fine and pluggin' away."

Kevin's writing about his struggle with the disease is such a vivid depiction of towering inner strength that I'm putting Kevin's Fight Against Leukemia in the Links section of this page where you can check it out whenever you need a quick fix on your priorities.
