Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible māmā, nanas, aunties, and mother‑figures in our lives.

Today we honour the women who carry us, guide us, steady us, and love us in ways words never quite capture.
The ones who show up — in the big moments, the quiet moments, and the moments no one else ever sees.

To the māmā who give endlessly.
To the nanas who hold generations together.
To the aunties who step in with love that feels like home.
To the women who mother through strength, softness, sacrifice, and heart.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou — thank you for everything.
May today remind you of the impact you make, the lives you shape,
and the love you pour into the world.

To my own māmā and my nanny…
I miss you beyond words.
Not a day goes by that I don’t carry you with me — in the way I love, the way I show up, the way I try to be better.
Your lessons, your warmth, your strength… they live in me still.

Happy Mother’s Day❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹
To those still with us, to those watching over us, and to those we hold forever in our hearts.

✨ Celebrating Our Renee – Bachelor of Law, 2025 ✨

In December 2025, our niece Renee Truong crossed the stage and graduated with her Bachelor of Law – and our hearts have been overflowing with pride ever since.

Renee, your whānau see you. We see the sacrifices you made, the long nights, the moments of doubt, the courage it took to keep going, and the determination that carried you through every challenge. From a young age, you showed a strength and resilience that set you apart, and watching you grow into the woman you are today has been a privilege.

You’ve balanced your studies with your commitment to your husband and children, showing all of us what can be achieved with hard work, discipline, and unwavering dedication to your dreams. You’ve proven that success isn’t just about talent – it’s about grit, heart, and the willingness to push forward even when the path is steep.

We are incredibly proud of you, Renee. Your achievement is not just a degree – it’s a legacy for your tamariki, an inspiration for our whānau, and a reminder that anything is possible when you back yourself.

Your future is bright, and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way. Mauria te pono (Believe in yourself)

Arohanui from us all 😘❤️
