My sister, Falena, lost her 6 year old son, Jordan. In the family service, she presented one final hula for her little boy. Sept 23rd, 2016 in Salt Lake City, UT.
This has hit my soul hard. She’s dancing gracefully with a serene smile on her face to her deceased son only feet away from her and I get impatient and grumpy if I have to wait to long in line for a coffee. Falena and Jordan, thank you for teaching me a new lesson in life.
rachael jean... I believe you just taught a lesson too...with your comment. Good for you...being brave and kind to show how we sometimes miss the important things in life. God bless you. Thank you for your comment, I'm sure it has made many people THINK. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. 🍃🌺🍃Lynne USA
@@lynnecarnivale5085 this came up in my recommendations and i truly believe their are no coincidences in life. I was meant to see this and meant to cry and meant to sit there while it taught me my lesson. Thank you for your kind words. Angel blessings and koala hugs to you from rachael in Melbourne, Australia 😊✌🤗♥
@@wanderingrachael Rachael Jean, thank you so much for your sweet reply. We learn from each other. Koala hugs? Aww!!! No Koalas here... but seen pics before and toys. Ha! Very cute. I'm from a city not far from BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, USA! We have lots of seafood! The ocean, farms and city life are all close to each other where I live. God bless! 🐳🦈🐟🦀🐚
@@holidayinn2187 Beautiful dance for your son. I am so very sorry for your loss! You are a beautiful individual! May I ask why he died? He was so very young!
As a mom who lost a son too, I recognize the beautiful way she wanted to gift her son. In all my worst nightmares of losing a child, I would think in this time I would be a wreck, but when the day came, the day I wanted to be strong and speak from my heart, I found the strength. This was so beautiful and touching, I have eyes full of tears right now and an ache in my heart. You showed us all what a lovely mom you are, and your little boy is blessed to have you as his mom. Sending you a hug for as long as you need it.
As you know so well, loosing a child is never going to be easy or gets any easier, but knowing that they watch us on the other side and care for us with so much love and adoration, I pray you will know how blessed you were to be your childs beautiful mother. Thank you for your comment and I pray you find true happiness. God bless
Falena Tuutau Falena, thank you for your comforting message. I watched your dance again and again I was moved to tears. Your expression of love, mothering care, and your connection to your little boy are so beautiful to see. He comes alive during the dance as I can see how he would love to watch his mom do this dance and may have joined you as well. You dance with him, not for him. I hope for you life is becoming more and more beautiful and that you continue to share your heart and soul with others.
I'm sorry for your loss. I too have lost a child. This video had me sobbing. That kind of pain NEVER heals. It's always there. We just learn to deal with it I guess. Then viewing something as emotional as this beautiful video brings all those feelings crashing down again without warning. People who tell moms of Angel Children to get over it or "find closure" are just clueless to the pain that comes with losing a child. So, God bless you, and any other Angel Child parent who happens to read this. God bless. 💜
Isha Freel. That was moving and heart warming. Deeply with sadness and gladness. Knowing he's only in a deep sleep and shall rise again one soon in Glory. Stay strong my Sister. Keep the Faith. God bless you.
I stumbled across this video I am a new mother and I cried my eyes out. You are a beautiful and strong women. May you find peace and love. May God bless you and your family. I am so sorry for you loss.

They grow so fast regardless your current emotional stage of life and no you are not perfect but always try your best with our creator he is always with them when we can’t 🙏🌏🕊🌎❤️🌍🕊
I too am a bereaved mother of an 11yr old son and I have to say that I could not show the same strength as Falena did and I admire her so much. Your hula touched my heart sooo deeply and I have tears flowing down my cheeks. The only comfort I got out of losing my son was knowing that his loved ones were there waiting for him too. RIP Jordan and much love to you Falena x
That was so very beautiful. What a lovely and touching moment between mother and son. My deepest condolences. The grace she had throughout her whole speech and beautiful hula were admirable and sweet. You can tell how much she loved her son through her words and movement. Even though this was in 2016 I still send my love and prayers xoxo.
I am deeply touched and grateful for your comment and for your support. It has been a few years but I believe that our angels continue to watch and hold us strong esp when we really need it. May you be blessed continually.
Thank you Christina. He was definatelty my amazing little Jordan with the biggest smile. Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your thought. God bless
God gave her the strength to dance for her love one last time. My heart broke, I lost my son few years ago and didn't even have the strength to burry him 💔💔😭😭
In some African cultures parents are discouraged from attending the funerals of their children for this very reason. May God continue to comfort you in your mourning.
Dan Jorgensen, you are so right. Have a heart to the dislikers...........Some of them are full of sadness, so they put the thumbs down..............the others ....forget them I am in tears , this woman ...........I will always remember her................so strong, so full of love..........I hope I will stay strong , when the time for my daughter will come. God bless her . Love from Germany
Has nothing to do about Polynesian culture those 86 dislikes were from people who are demonic, uneducated and have a lack of real love for fellow human beings, otherwise they are simply put "DUMMIES"!!!!!!
Oh, the strength it must have taken for this mother to dance with the grace and trust that she did...knowing that she would see her son again. My heart melts and breaks for her as I know she yet longs to hold him in her arms. I know that God is with her.
I have no words...I can't stop tearing up! Beautiful, priceless expression of eternal love between a mother and her child. Thank you for sharing this heartbreaking, tender moment.
I came across this video and Oh my God... it is such a beautiful rare sight to see. This was so touching. I am crying for this mother and her family. Bless her and bless her child's spirit.
The mother has such strength! To bury your six-year-old son and prior to that your sister, would bring most of us to our knees. The beauty and the symbolism of this gesture goes beyond words! Thank you for sharing this with the world!
He was just 6yrs Old most Mother's and Father's would be To Overwhelmed with Grief to lose a Child so Young this was a Beautiful Tribute to her Little Boy even though this was 3yrs Ago GOD Continue to give these Parent's Strength to Endure this Great Loss Amen and GOD BLESS THEM ALL.
People dont know this but hula is not just moving hips. It's part of the culture and the moves have specific meaning to it.This is beautiful, a strong faith is all she needed to stay strong.
Idk hownppl dont know this. I'm black and know my culture also. so I assume it's more than moving hips. Twerking (mapouka) used to be more. Now... it's been ruined and over sexualized
This is a mother with strength and love beyond measure. This struck to the core of my soul. This was a beautiful tribute for her son... yes baby...your mother will kiss you in the morning and at night....
My condolences on the loss of your son. This tribute is so beautiful. What a blessing that you endured with strength to honor him with such love in his homegoing service. A mother’s love is eternal. Much respect from VA 🙏🏽❤️
This is the most lovely, touching thing I have ever seen in my life. What a gracious, graceful, beautiful Mommy. I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless you all.
My sincere condolences to your family and friends. This was a very moving tribute and I thank you for sharing it with us. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Her strength is amazing, I can't imagine what she's going through. Prayers to the family and that was so heartfelt and beautiful to watch.He is very handsome and God has another angel...
A mother’s amazing show of love for her child and I so understand her loss because I lost my son 7 yrs ago and the pain is almost unbearable at times, but I know we will see our loved ones again. God Bless you and your family🙏🏼
Why should she ask for forgiveness? It's what her routine was for her baby. I loved her way of telling her son good-bye. I love that dedication quilt. Her voice is so soft and loving. Absolutely beautiful. People grieve in anyways and I think this was her way of grieving, don't know Jordan's story or how he died, but if that made that momma happy, I'm happy for her. May God bless and comfort her and the family.
Dear Falena and family, I wish that I could send you a warm hug. I feel so sad about little Jordan passing away. I feel so sad about the grief that you are experiencing. Sharing your experience has really been such a gift to me.. thank you.
Thank you mommy, That was amazing, A mother's strength in a time of grieve for a child is surreal. I have witnessed mother's the strongest when it comes to death of a child. Mother's strength is testament to the God in us. You are amazing mom.
That was the sweetest display of love. Im so emotional right now,Mother was elegant, strong and at peace. Wow! It is always heartbreaking for a loved one to pass I can't imagine losing my baby. Lord have mercy.Bless this family and heal their hearts.
Oh my goodness I held it together until she leaned over and kissed him. How sweet of her to hula one more time for her Baby! I lost my Dad 8 months ago and this is the hardest pain I've ever had to endure. Rest peacefully sweet Baby.
How blessed this little boy was to have had such a special beautiful mother. Watching this just touches your heart and soul. My condolences and love to you xxxx
As a mother that had to bury a child I understand how she wanted to share such a beautiful tribute to her son. It touched my heart and soul and I know how she feels after losing my 4 yr old daughter I can empathize with her. God bless her and give her strength during such a difficult time. Peace and love to you and your family.
What a beautiful Spiritual fairwell. I lived in Hawaii 4 years and these brought back many beautiful memories. Only a temporary separation and we will be reunited with our family soon.
God Bless You Mamma! You little boy is in heaven looking down on his loving mother dance a hula for him, even though she is grieving. It is a wonderful expression of love you gave to him. God Bless You Always.
My heart ached watching that but her calm spirit made all the difference. The love in that Hula was palpable. Such a beautiful yet sad moment. Rest in peace little man 🌻
Gods Grace and Comfort is upon her. She put her trust in Him and knows her son is with Christ. Keep Jesus in your heart and He will always give you His STRENGTH, PEACE AND COURAGE. Love and Peace upon you, RubyOpheliaQuinn. 🍃🌷🍃 Lynne
ALMA JONES! Hi...😊Thank you for your words. Heavy heart today, but fully understanding that God will bring JOY soon. Your words today brought a smile to know He used you! Have a "GOD" day! Peace and Faith, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
You are a beautiful soul and the love for your son is undeniable. God bless you and your family. But as you said at least you know he has his auntie to watch over him until you and his father join them
How incredibly beautiful! I am saddened by your loss yet so deeply touched by your strength and grace. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family!! 🙏❤
God is good and gave her the strength to speak and dance. Her faith is deep and she knows she will too be reunited with her son and sister one day. Loved it!!
Chelsealynnism I know this kind of pain in my own life. It’s the most unbelievable pain imaginable. The pain never gets better. With time it can be manageable but the heart still aches. Pray for her.
As soon as the music began to play, I became very emotional. Yes, families are forever and your hula tribute to your son was graceful and poignant to watch. May God bless you and your family.
My father died last month and he would always sing and dance with me. Watching this broke my heart but I know families are forever like she said and one day she will dance for and with her son and I will dance with my dad as well 🙏💔❤
