It's been two years (2016 - 2018) since I lost my dad. I miss him a lot and just want to hear his assertive and assuring voice again. March 26 will always be close to my heart and remembered because dad passed away a day before my birthday on the 27 March. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Now my dad wanted us to celebrate his life more then anything. He was a very influential man in the church, community, village and work place. We all try to emulate such a role model but admit once in a while that the standard dad set is so high. In this write up I want to share some of my dads life lessons. Some may relate to you and your family members while other lessons might be new to you. Regardless of what they are, I want to share with you and hope you share with others too.

Mum learnt the language (Ialibu) and said she use to speak abit of it too. My South's connections and that of my family While growing up in the sweet sugar town Gusap (Ramu), I remember one of our first "Haus Boi" was from Tari his name was Wanu.
