After visiting Molokai and seeing the leper colony from a distance, I read this good book called Molokai and it depicted how life was on this island away from family. It is a good read. then, today my daughter sent me this link and it brought it all back. If you get a chance, read the book. It is based on how life really was on this leper colony. Sad, but, also funny and uplifting at the same time.
