David Tua e te Parata tena koe

Ka maumaharatia i te waa tuatahi i rangona i te ingoa a Rawiri Tua.  I whakaarohia e te tuatahi, a, ko wai tenei tangata a Rawiri Tua. 

Engari e katakata ana ki ahau, ko te mea, aku karangarua i crack up rawa atu i te wa e pa tana ingoa, ko te mea, i taka e ia i te aroha mo ta matou tino hoa a Lindsay.  I taua wa, he tino FOB a Tavita, kaare e ia te korero he mita pera i a matou i korerohia i te reo tauiwi, rereke tana reo, rereke tana ahuatanga me te tino rerekee o tana tinana, buti me ki!  HE PURU.

Heoi he me hatakehi ka whakamaumahara ki Tavita penei ana.  Heoi ka rangona ki te whakaaro a Tavita i te irihia ana karapu.  Ka taea te whai whakaaro i a ia he huarahi pai i para.  He tangata pai, he tangata humarie, he tangata kaha ki te tana kaupapa.  He oranga nui rawa o roto, hei awhina i a ia i te kourouatanga.  Heoi ano ra he mihi nui ki a Tavita.
