To our readers

Advertiser Staff

Today, The Honolulu Advertiser is proud to present our first Moments of Life photo feature.

As we pass through this world, we share an essential common experience — birth, family life, schooling, adulthood, aging and death. Many also experience the joys of a loving relationship, parenthood, caring for children and eventually, seeing them off into the world. Our social natures lead us into communities, where we are connected by bonds of friendship, ethnicity and economics.

With our monthly Moments of Life feature, we hope to shine a light on these personal transitions and connections. Because these experiences are both universal and one-of-a-kind, readers can enjoy the feature for its familiar aspects, as well as the information it provides about others' way of life.

We welcome your reactions or suggestions for future topics. Send comments to Island Life editor Elizabeth Kieszkowski, ekieszkowski@honoluluadvertiser.com or 525-8034.
