My first book was published last year but my brother passed suddenly 10/12/22. Grief flooded our hearts & as I write it’s hard to see through the tears. He would’ve posted this all over fb as my no.1 cheer-team. So here’s to you my #brother Fa’amoe Timo 52yrs on 10/02/23 ❤️‍🩹

I've been to church two Sundays in a row. I'm not very religious myself, but my family is... so that means I'm now a regular church goer now 🙏🏽😄 I can only mix and match the clothes I brought with me, so I'm going to create a thread of my Sunday church attire below – at Cook Islands

Posted about the survey on the Rarotonga community page. Amazing support! People even PMing saying they want to take part. I'm letting them know the team of interviewers will randomly approach houses to invite people to take part. People are now telling me where they live 😂
