Real life on the Big Island
By KATE POSS |
March 19, 2023
Our home for the next three nights was at the northern tip of the Big Island in the tiny town of Kapa’au.
Our 1940s-era home is divided into three rentals: A big house and two apartments. Our apartment was once Krisann’s bedroom.
We liked our apartment’s old windows, its comfortable kitchen, and its modern bathroom.
This was the childhood home of Krisann Santiago, a third-generation Big Islander, and descendant of grandparents who moved to the Big Island from Puerto Rico to work the sugar cane fields. Krisann and her sister grew up running among sugar cane, which has since given way to ranches. Krisann and her Hilo-born husband Samuel modernized the home in 2019.
The couple and their grown son live next door and are friendly and gladly share the story of the home.
Krisann seemed to dance when talking of her love of the property, and wanting to share the aloha spirit of the land.
Krisann and Samuel cared for her mom for 18 years, and she lived out most of her last years at the family home. A celebration of her life, with more than a hundred guests, was planned for March 18, 2023.
Bill and I spent an afternoon under a broad lychee nut tree, which graced the yard while Krisann was growing up.
