My sister got married in October last year and every time she greets us on the family group she says, โGood afternoon former family members.โ ๐ญ๐โ๐ฟ
This is 100th time that a Goundar ship is drifting in sea risking hundreds of lives.
At what point will MSAF ground all Goundar ships? Smells like corruption to me. FFS! Nothing is right in this cowntree.
Gets easier but never stops sis. Some days you carry on with your day, no worries. Other days, you wake up and spend the entire day crying and longing for a hug.
We keep going though, and we make them proud because we don't give up the same way they didn't give up ๐ซถ๐ฝ
The way people measure success in material things and accomplishments, moving to greener pastures but amnesiac to those who sacrificed opportunities because they knew theyโd be the only one left to care for their parents/elders. Treat them kindly
We always celebrate those whoโve left the nest, those who โflyโ to visit home. Today I honour those who stayed, who stayed to take care of their elders, their parents and even their other relations. I see you, vinaka na veiqaravi โค๏ธ๐
Hardest thing for me to grasp as an adult is you have to keep showing up no matter how you feel. You gotta do this shit sad, do it heartbroken, do it grieving, do it tired. Life doesnโt care, it waits for nobody, you just have to keep going
Today my sister sent me this as a reminder

One thing that isn't spoken about enough is the guilt that comes after burying a loved one. U feel a crushing guilt that you get to continue & they don't... guilty that after you farewell them, the world keeps spinning, & you go on along with it, while they're seemingly forgotten
The morning after, I just wanted to say thank you to every person who supported us through this campaignโฆI am genuinely overwhelmed & humbled by the amount of messages sent through overnight. It may take a while, but I will try to reply to every message sent through! ๐ซ๐ฏ๐ซ๐ฏ๐ซ๐ฏ
Very proud of all the Fijian team. You have showcased the very best of your wananavu country. Vinaka for the journey and, for me personally, giving me the opportunity to re-engage with a country and a people that I love ๐๐ซ๐ฏ
