Te whai i te wa e hapu ana: he aha ahau i whiriwhiri ai i te tautoko o te ao
“I whanau ahau i aku pepi tuatahi e rua i Finland. I reira, ka tino whakaute ratou ki te powhiri i te tamaiti. Karekau he awhi o te taura i mua i te whakamutua o te patu, me te wawata o te puku. I to ’u ho‘iraa i Farani, ua hapû vau e ua imi oioi au i te hoê fare ma‘i e nehenehe ai au e fanau ma te ore e taotiahia. I whanau ahau ki te hohipera whakawhanau i Givors. I whanau omaoma taku peepi, he nui ona raru, ka tata ngaro matou. Ko enei mea katoa hei korero ki a koe i te wa e hapu ana ahau ki taku tuawha, i tino awangawanga ahau. Kua tutaki ahau ki taku kaiwhakawhanau na roto i aku mahi. I te tuatahi, ko te tautoko katoa kaore i tino whakamatautauria ahau. He tangata tino ngawari ahau. Ko te whakaaro kia whaihia e te tangata kotahi puta noa i te wa e hapu ana ka mataku ahau, ka mataku hoki ahau kei kore taku tane i uru atu ki tenei tokorua. Engari i te mutunga ka pai te haere o te rere ki a Cathy ka hiahia ahau ki te whakamatau me ia.
"Na tona taha whaea i whakamarie i ahau"
I tino pai te whai i te wa hapu. Ia marama, ka haere ahau ki tana tari mo nga korerorero. I roto i te poto, he whai-ake matarohia. Engari ko te tikanga, he rereke nga mea katoa. Me whakamaarama ahau me taku kaiwhakawhanau i tino awhina i ahau ki te hinga i aku awangawanga. He mihi ki a ia, i taea e au te korero he aha aku hiahia, me pehea taku hiahia kia tae mai taku tamaiti ki te ao. Ko taku tane, kaore i angitu ki te korero i ona awangawanga i muri i taku whanautanga whakamutunga, i taea e ia te korerorero ki a ia, ki te whakaatu i a ia ano. I reira tonu ia, ka taea e au te waea atu ki a ia i nga wa katoa mena he raru ahau. E whakaae ana ahau ahakoa ko te tuawha tenei o taku haputanga, me whakawhanau ahau. I whakahokia mai e Cathy te maia ki ahau. Ka tata mai te wa, he maha aku mahi teka. Te ahua nei he mea noa tenei i te wa e hapu ana te tuawha. I te ra i ngaro ai te wai, ka waea atu ahau ki taku kaiwhakawhanau i te 4 karaka
"Mo te wa tuatahi, kua kitea e te papa tona waahi i te wa e whanau ana"
I taku taenga atu ki te whare whakawhānau, kua tae kē ia ki reira, he aro nui, he manaaki. I tino harikoa ahau ki te kimi i a ia. Kaore au i kite i ahau e whanau ana me tetahi atu kaiwhakawhanau. I noho a Cathy ki a matou i te wa katoa o te tukunga mai a e mohio ana te Atua he roa te wa. Kare he wa i kaha ai ia, i arahi marie ia matou. He maha nga wa, i homai e ia ki ahau te acupuncture hei whakaora i ahau. Mo te wa tuatahi, kua kitea e taku tane tona waahi. I mahara ahau kei roto tonu ia i te mirumiru i a au, ko matou tokotoru kei te powhiri i tenei peepi. I te whanautanga o taku tama, kare i tangi tonu, he marino, he marie, miharo ahau. Ua mana‘o matou e ua ite atoa o ’na i te huru hau o te hau i roto i te piha faafaaearaa. I oho taku kaiwhakawhanau. I tana awhi i taku tama, ka kite ahau i te ngakau pono, i tino pa ki tenei whanautanga. Na, i noho tonu a Cathy i te wa i muri i te whanautanga. I haere mai ia ki te tirotiro i ahau kotahi i te wiki mo te marama tuatahi. I tenei ra kei te hono tonu tatou. E kore ahau e wareware ki tenei whanautanga. Ki ahau nei, he tino wheako te tautoko whanui. “
