I am tired so this won't be a long post, I do feel a need to write a little note about my dad. I have always adored this sweet, kind man. Always. He has taught me my most powerful life lessons. As a little girl, the only girl of 5 kids for 12 years, I was called openly and often his "little princess." He is the hardest worker I know. He has taught me how important it is to serve, to give and to expect nothing in return. I certainly don't come close to doing these things as well as he does, but I do try.
He is a man of honor, integrity and quite frankly, the word 'hero' falls short. He has a life story that should be written and published. He has a history rich with a Tongan culture mixed with beauty and pain.
I love you Dad, Happy Father's day.

Loved this tribute to your Dad. I have observed those wonderful qualities in your Dad, too. You are blessed!
I know my parents think the world of him. The little I have learned about him, I marvel. Hopefully some day someone will write his life story. I'd be one of the first to read it.

Hey you...
I read that post you wrote on my blog for Maddi's birthday and it got me sooo homesick! I remmeber those good days when our little girls were off to school together. They were such perfect lttle buddies.
I remember seeing you the first Sunday in RS. You had a baby in your arms bouncing in the corner and I remeber thinking she is going to be my friend! I was so blessed to have you!
I hope you have a WONDERFUL 4th of July! We LOVE YOU!

Shahara--
Great tribute to your Dad who I know you love so much. Truth is, your Dad is in you and you are much of who he is. I even see him in your kids. Great guy that's for sure.
(I didn't have an invite when you went private:( so haven't written in a while...)
