Lahaina
The Lahaina Public Library as it was in December 2021. We didn’t have time to visit that day, but surely we would be back and I could visit some other time? These things have a way of feeling permanent, although they cannot be. I deeply regret not making time to visit that day. (Photo: Shala Howell)
Like so many, we here at Caterpickles Central are heartbroken at the news coming out of Lahaina. It is almost impossible to contemplate the scale of the destruction caused by these wildfires.
The love we feel for Maui and Lahaina is the product of visits over the years. We cannot imagine how much greater the loss and grief must be for those who call Maui and Lahaina home.
You are in our thoughts today.
