This is a beautiful, comforting and uplifting story for anyone who has lost someone that they love. From far away, Hawaiki called to her. Turning her face to the sun, she was ready for her next adventure. In the distance, across the shining sea, smiling faces of her ancestors were ready for her, their hands reaching out to welcome her home. Welcome precious one! Welcome! Mai i tawhiti, ka karanga a Hawaiki ki a ia. Ka huri tona kanohi ki a Tamanuitera, kua rite ia mo tona haerenga nui. I pamamao, i tera taha o te moana piataata, e tatari mai ra nga kanohi menemene o ona tupuna, ko o ratou ringaringa e pohiri ana i a ia ki tona kainga. Nau mai, e te kahurangi e! Nau mai ra!
