Mana was a very happyspirit.He loved to play ball,music,and roll around everywhere..Miss you Mana Boii you made everyone Smile
Mana was brought into this world through his birth Mom, Brandi Kaio, passed 12/3/2017, a 24 week premie in July 2015. He fought to survive against all odds and was placed into my arms days before his 2nd birthday in 2017.
His mom visited him but couldn't care for him and made me his permanent guardian then mom after her passing.
Mana loved music and found ways to make music in unique ways using cheek before using his hands. He also relished seeing the children around him run and play and especially jump! We played in ways where I would lift him to make jumps and fly and he loved to hold me and dance to his videos. He smiled often and despite disabilities he was good at communicating with his many expressions.
Though he couldn't walk he rolled and pulled himself all over the house. He loved bathtimes and the water but not cold water as much.
He was quickly learning so much in the past year and had the biggest growth after he was put on the right formula.
Days before he passed he learned to say "ball" and he also learned that in sign language as well. Mom and ball were his favorites to say but he was also humming along songs he enjoyed too.
Mana's joy and love is an inspiration. He was able to go to school until Covid restraints and clearly missed his school mates. I'll never forget his neck hugs and love bite on my shoulder when he was especially happy. I'll always renege how much he enjoyed me laying next to him as we watched his music videos.
Mana is my hero. He also gave life through Legacy for a Life when there was no coming home again. He's in heaven no doubt. Mana I love you forever; till we meet again...
