    Wayne Glene, 54, has been living in Hawai‘i since 2009, after serving as a medical technician in the Air Force. In Hawai‘i, he worked as a home care worker.

He deals with the distance by staying positive. “Don’t look at the borders, don’t look at the distance, just let the love flow," he said.
