« Wheel Chair Found! | Main | 1 May 2008 Update »
It is difficult to capture the incredible support Tae has had over the past months in Fiji and Tonga other then to share a few pictures.
There are so many pictures but unfortunately we are hampered by the slow Internet connections. We will have them up soon and linked so you can browse.

Have a lovely day and I have to go to a meeting now and will try not to pass the ice-cream outlet. XOX :)

Dear Cousin,
I wish there is a way so that we can share your pain i know everyone of us will be more then happy to take part. You know deep down in our heart we feel it too and more not only because you are in pain now but also knowing that you won't be here with us. Us you say *you will be going home and there is no pain there* God will always with you dear and you'll always in your prayer.
I still remember that movie you showed when i was there before you leave for Fiji *STAR* i will always think of as a STAR. You will forever shinning on us whereever you are. 'Ofa lahi atu ki ho ki'i mata 'ofa.
