HELLO FAMILY,

I KNOW THIS IS NOT COMMON IN THE WHOLE WORLD..... TO CELEBRATE THE FATHER'S DAY THIS COMING SUNDAY.....BUT IN TONGA IT IS THE "SAPATE TAMAI".....WHICH MAKES IT FAR BETTER... TO MAKE THE MONTH OF MAY..."THE MONTH OF THE FAMILY"....STARTED WITH THE "FAKAME" FOR THE CHILDREN - 1st SUNDAY....."MOTHER'S DAY - SAPATE FA'E" - 2nd SUNDAY...."FATHER'S DAY - SAPATE TAMAI" - 3rd SUNDAY.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO WISH ALL FATHERS IN TONGA, FAMILY AND IN THE FA'ITOKA KO LOMA....A HAPPY AND BLESSING FATHER'S DAY. SO OFTEN YOU DON'T GET MUCH ATTENTION LIKE THE MOTHER'S DAY, BUT YOU DESERVE ALL THE ATTENTIONS AND APPRECIATIONS YOU NEED ON THIS VERY SPECIAL DAY. YOU HAVE DONE ALOT OF SACRIFICES FOR THE FAMILY. GOD BLESS ALL OUR BELOVED FATHERS.
