Kia ora future mokopuna and my future tamariki! Your nan/māmā is 23 years old writing this, currently working at THE Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori!! I hope you guys have had nothing but the best of the best times growing up surrounded by te reo Māori me ōnā tikanga. I am only 3 years into my Reo journey, but by the time you open this, myself and your koro/pāpā will only be speaking te reo Māori to you guys (and a bit of te reo Ingarihi here and there...). We love you so much and can't wait to see you all thrive in te ao Māori <3
xoxo Edie Rongomai Morrell-Wood
