"Keke 'ilo'ia mai, te'eki ke mafoa e ata, 'oku 'a. Ko hoku kaunga fononga koe fetu'u pea moe mahina, na'aku lotu kihe 'Eiki ke kau mai 'ihe 'eku fononga. Peau hiva e ngaahi himi, 'a hoku hufanga'anga."—"If only you knew, my companions were the stars and the moon. I found refuge in my prayers to God to keep us safe, and found peace in singing hymns as we'd leave our homes before dawn." Those were the words of Ailine Tupou Kanongata'a, wife of Siosiua Likiliki. They were members of Fakafeangai Mā'oni'oni Tongan Methodist Church, and were overstayers from 1971 to 1978. They were my parents, who are laid to rest at Waikaraka Cemetery in Onehunga, Auckland.
