You have a great nephew Demi now! OMG! you would love him he is sooooh cute, all your neices and nephews have growen up and ready to take the next steps in their lives and for those ones that did not know you, we always make sure your memory lives on, New South Wales is doing so badly with State of OriginYour birthday is coming up! We still miss you!

Love you, your sis and fam bam!

I remember the first time we met, John and I had planned to go to the movies, John asked me if he could bring his you and your mate, even though the thought of meeting you made me nervous I said ok, we met you and Palauni, unfortunately we didn't get to see the same movie as yous were not old enough to watch the movie that we all wanted to see, afterwards as we were walking back to the station you stopped in front of every building where you could see your reflection and pull out your comb from your back pocket and comb your fro,lol you even laughed and mocked my dry jokes, well it wasn't a joke, i was actually trying to be serious....but I knew that we were going to be friends, you and Palauni went to his aunty's house in Newtown and you's were supposed to meet up with John and I the next morning back in Wellington, but you's went straight home, John and I went to the movies again.

You were the first member of John's family that I met, and when I finally met the rest of them I was glad that I knew someone else other than John, your family made me feel welcome, John had preped me for the questions that I might recieve from mum, but I didn't listen and that was because I didn't want to lie.

I have to confess that I overheard a conversation you were having with your sisters about me, you asked them if they liked me and what they thought, I won't go into the answers you got from them because the only comment that means anything is the one you said to them, "Why don't you give her a chance, you's don't even know her I like her, she has done nothing to you's", from that day on I was happy that I found a friend in you, you looked after me when I was sick going to the shop to get me chicken noodle soup and straws while your brother was next door with Lewis,we became close, people actually thought we were the ones going out with each other, but then I lied to you and for that I am eternally sorry.

I am glad that you got to meet Helena even though she can not remember you herself because she was just a baby, I do share memories with the children everytime they ask me anything about you. I am sorry that I did not get a chance to say goodbye, but you know that I have visited you and I talk to you on days when I am feeling down, I love you bro and you are forever in my heart xoxoxox
