<div>It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have to share the unexpected tragic passing of my daughter’s dad Paris Oda, her siblings Nana 10, Orion 12, Sakurako 17 and step mom Naoko on Sunday, March 10, 2024.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With all of the emotional pain and stress that death brings, it can also bring unexpected financial burdens. We would like to raise money for her to help with any funeral and legal expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is in times of sadness and loss when people can come together to help one another make it through. Any support you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. If you are unable to donate please help by sharing this post. And if nothing else please pray for healing and health. Please keep Thauris and the Odas in your thoughts and prayers

<div>Thauris:
</div>
<div>NANA was the youngest of my siblings. She was a spunky, brave, &amp; unapologetic little girl. She loved soccer, volleyball, and anything girly. She was my little opihi and would always cuddle me any chance she got.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ORION was the most energetic and comical little brother. He was ALWAYS trying to get around the rules. he was always stealing snacks, candy, and food —
</div>
<div>Every meal was like a competition. if he can eat more &amp; it usually resulted in him having his tummy sore.. until he got older then he finally realized he didnt want to have sore stomach &amp; started listening.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>SAKURAKO was sarcastic, caring, &amp; passionate. She was smart but blonde — like me..I wish we all had more time here on earth together so we can do more adventures, car mukbangs, &amp; just going holo holo. I dont know how im going to ever fill this gaping hole of missing all of you..
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>NAOKO was the most kind, nurturing, &amp; an all around beautiful woman.
</div>
<div>Since i was young she always defended me, protected me, &amp; treated me as your own. Not many people can say they like their step-parents but she was definitely an exception..
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>DAD Was such a strong, charming, &amp; a wise man.. he tried to guide me in the right direction when i didnt know what to do. He was knowledgeable in so many different things. There probably wasnt anything he didnt know how to do &amp; if he didnt know, then he would learn how to do it..
</div>
<div>I know this was not like him &amp; i will never understand why, but i forgive him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“You can do a million things right but they will always judge you on the one thing you did bad” and i feel like this is definitely true in this situation. You may not agree with me but i know him &amp; mental health needs to be taken more seriously.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>BUT
</div>
<div>Ill take the beautiful years that we all had together.
</div>
<div>Its better then not having any memories of them.
</div>
<div>So for the rest of my life, I’ll cherish every moment we shared together. Good or bad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mahalo &amp; Thank you
