His emotions were so overwhelming he had me in tears. Then his heart grew the moment he heard other family members join in with him... even though he was fully willing to send that love, the goodbye, to celebrate her life all on his own. His Nana is so very proud of him and the rest of the family. Sweet boy, young man I should say, you did your Nana proud! 💜

Oh bless him, that’s reduced me to a blubbering mess. I enjoy watching the strength and the passion that Haka displays, but the funeral/tribute ones always make me cry

I love New Zealand for keeping their people focused on what the right values are. We are so blessed for communities that still honor each other this way. May we please do this in our communities right now everywhere. 🙏🏼
