Chat with @BBCWorld yesterday. I know most news are focusing on the devastation & aid coming in & my point is to give credit to #Tonga & Tongans who all sprung into action to help each other & rebuild - cannot underestimate their will & resilience in face of crisis #TongaStrong
For a split second, the entire nation was back to normal. cheers and laughter filled the air, walls punched, referee and his entire ancestral line was blessed, mothers screaming, to keep the noise down haha.
I miss this.
I miss my friends.
I miss my family.
