A going away gift...

[sin-da-rella.livejournal.com]

A close friend is moving to FL for about a year so that he can go to chef school. Seeing that he is "part of the family", I would like to give him *something* that says "Ohana means family and family means that no one gets left behind or forgotten."
I had originally wanted to get that "printed" on a lump of metal (like those "inspirational" words or pocket angels) so that he could have it with him all day, but I can't find anyone that could/would make it. So now I don't know just how I should make it....
Ideas, please? :D
