Quotes

  • Tae on her Condition
    before the December Surgery on the Inverted papilloma:
    “...I don't really care how it is, but in the doctor's room, I felt that God was, and is with me and will be with me no matter what, and that if so, than let His will be done, he still has my purpose tucked in his arm safely”

    Summarizing 5 surgeries in 12 months
    “I would also describe the year (2005) as a blessing and a challenge, but I'm up for it. Time has brought each of us together; faith has done the impossible, support has shaped me, love has given me all the things I asked for, Hope…makes me stronger”

Tae's Song - Walk On Walk Strong..here it is again for those who have been asking for the lyrics


Tae wrote this song  and it reflects her journey - the tune came from the 4-5 chords she learned on her guitar and the words are very much assuranceto all who are going through a tough time - you will get through it... walk on, walk strong.

For the storm won't last too long,
Walk on, Walk Strong
When everything seems wrong,
Hold on,Walk On

Thru the fear and thru the fire
You'll find the way out,
Thru the pain and misconceptions,
Thru the sorrow and the doubt
When you look beyond your troubles,
Then you'll figure it out
You will find...

That the storm won't last too long
Walk on, Walk strong
When everything seems wrong,
Hold on,Walk On...

She's crying in the corner,
The work's never done,
I'm tryin to explain to her that the victory has been won

Don't Be Afraid
There's Peace Beyond the rain
I know...it'll be okay...

The pain never lasts
It's now  in the past
Hold on. walk on.

Chorus : For THIS storm won't last too long... etc

Medical History

  • May 2008
    We brought Tae to Tonga in April after the cancer reached her spine. Since then she is no longer able to walk and despite the slow deterioration of body function still continues to get around with a wheelchair and meet the many visitors who come to see her.
  • 2008
    Jan 2008 - We move to Fiji. Tae has had a persistent cough. The day before registering her in her new school an Xray reveals cancer in both lungs. Tae insists on no further treatment. A quick trip to Auckland confirms cancer in the lungs and in the liver. Cancer is now considered terminal Nov 2007 - Tae had major surgery to remove the Inverted Papilloma Tumour and insert a Titanium implant around her left eye to replace the tumour affected bone. We are advised that she will now have to wait at least 18 months to see if the tumour will grow back before any reconstruction can be undertaken.
