My Father

I am proud that my father had served with the 28th Maori Battallion during world warII, I could never imagine what it must have been like for him to have fought in that war in a land so far away,he just wasn't the same man when he came home, but I truely believe now that My Father is at Peace.You will always be my father I never got to know and love but I will never forget you my father "e kore taku papa he warewarengia"
