I am constantly talking about an ancestor of mine who died in 1918 at the age of only 48 years. Eight children were left behind. It is a very sad memory and one of the main reasons I got myself vaccinated. The main reason was my daughters, Hihana Mairehau-Belle Te Tau o Taku Ate Prime, Heeni Hirere-June Te Kare o Ngā Wai Prime. They are reason I got myself vaccinated. The reason being, I didn't want to be like my ancestor and die early, leaving children behind. I want to live and be around for my daughters, for my wider family and for the community. Therefore, I want to acknowledge the many people who have been vaccinated, whether you did it for yourself, your family or for Aotearoa as a whole.
