This morning, my dad, Taholo left for India for a meeting. We missed him already. Mum is packing her bags to leave for Tonga tomorrow morning, to attend her cousin's wedding (Lotomo'ua Faleafa')
on Saturday and booked to come back on Monday, next week.
But, this evening my mum got a call from her sister in NZ, saying that their uncle Kilisimasi 'Aholelei (their dad's younger brother) has just passed away in New Zealand. They will take the body back to Tonga for burial there.
My mum said, that the wedding is still on and uncle's body will be on the flight to Tonga on Tuesday and the burial will be on Wed. I told my mum that it's okay for her to stay for the funeral because we have aunt Make here to look after us and Grandaunt 'Ofa.
Tomorrow night, our cousin Nia and our friends ( 'Una, Malia, Suliana, "Elenoa and Tepola) from the University (USP) will all come and spend the weekend with us here at home. We are looking forward for their coming as we already have dvd's to watch and also games to play.These students were regular visitors to Tae when we moved here (Suva) last year. Also my mum would invite them over here for lunch on Sundays, so they are like big sisters to me and Joy.
I now know what Tae meant when she told me to take care of my little sister, cyclone Joy.. I am only 10 yrs old but I am learning a lot. I told Mum not to worry when she goes to Tonga because we have aunt Make here and her children, Thomas and Moana to play with in the evening.
Rest In Peace.. granduncle Kilisimasi .. give Tae a bigggggggg hug from me and Joy.
Wish my mum a safe trip and for dad to come home safely after his meetings.
