Ohana is a Hawaiian word meaning a person’s extended family. This is not limited to blood-related. This can include friends and other important social groups.

In the movie Lilo & Stitch, Lilo tells Stitch, “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.”

Did you read my Found: Tigger | Land of the Lost story and wondered what happened to the Tigger plush?

It’s been raining, and unfortunately, he’s been lying there at the very same spot on the driveway in front of the garage and no one has claimed him. Poor thing.

My mom took him in and cleaned him just like the bear I mentioned in Blogmas Day 12.

There he is after being cleaned up.

Nobody likes to be left behind or forgotten especially in the rain for days.

What I’ve learned from the movie Lilo & Stitch and the word “Ohana” is that family extends beyond just the immediate family. This includes Things like this Tigger plush.
