Today let us honor and recognize a young Maui boy whose life touched hearts around the world and whose legacy will live on through the millions that he inspired. Trucker Dukes was not quite 4 years old when he took his last breath this past Friday after a painful battle with stage IV neuroblastoma and 2 years of intense treatment. Trucker's dad is a firefighter, and like father, like son, Trucker loved fire trucks. When Trucker went to New York for treatment, the New York Fire Department coordinated a very special third birthday party celebration and swore him in as an honorary firefighter. After Trucker passed away, his parents, Shauna and Joshua, shared this message: ``If there's one thing I hope, it is that you love a little harder . . . a little better. Go home, stop the craziness in your life, and just kiss your loved ones more, tell them you love them more. None of us are promised tomorrow.'' ____________________
