🍃In January 2023 I went to my Mothers Homeland in Whirinaki for the first time. I am 62 years old & stayed @ Pakanae Marea with Penehio Whanau via invitation as our mothers were sisters. We knew each other during 1960s to early 1970s then in 1978 I moved to Australia & have lived here ever since. I have 5 children. Three were born in Australia & two in Auckland New Zealand but all have lived here with me all their lives. Now I have 8 mokopuna who want to know what & who I am & how they fit into my whanau. There is always a new question & learning for us all. So, the waiata above is one we learnt in January 2023 & before we return hoping with some of my tamariki in December 2023 to meet & reunite with Penehio Whanau🍃
