My Space connects me with my Roots



















Eight months ago I received a message on my myspace page from my cousin Dorothy.  I read the post over and over out of both necessity and astonishment.  Over 30 years had passed since we played together as little girls.  Her sisters Doreen and Sharon and I had several play dates growing up in Southern California.  Her father married my fathers sister.  I remember him as a massively loveable man.  I remember dancing on his belly as he lye strong on a woven mat enjoying the children playing around and about and ontop of him.  Above pictured are my Uncle Uperesa Gaoteote, My auntie Fuala'au and my cousin Dorothy.
