DVD's

Thank you so much Rae for the DVD's. They are awesome. They arrived on Friday and I have watched them all a few times each in the last couple of days. The kids love Talias wedding and couldnt stop laughing at the ororra and how everyone was dancing. I see them swell with pride when i tell them this is your aunty, thats your cuz, thats nana and great nana, they love it thank you.

Grandads funeral was sad,i know it was a long time ago but for me it was my first time.
I watched this DVD in the kids room by myself cause i wasnt sure how the kids would react.
I could feel the sadness and respect along with all the other emotions coming through the TV. After a while the kids came in the room looking for me and saw me crying. they said nothing, they just down next to me, held my hand and watched.
i cried when they carried him to his grave and to see him lifted up high on the shoulders, showed me just how much honour and respect Grandad had in the community.
its the one time i really wished I was back in TOK, just to carry him those final steps to his resting place. i am so sorry for not being there.

I am so grateful for these DVDs and everyone posting on the blog. My kids are starting to notice that they are a little different from the others at school and are so excited that they have relations that look like them, the same age, and that theres HEAPS of them.

one last thing, the singing, its unreal. some of the kids can sing man. I dont know who it is but one of them sang solo without a mic and was almost louder than the choir. BUT i must say the BEST song out of all the DVDs is the one Taki, Rae and Mata sang Love him. Number 1 girls.

Later.T
