Hi, I am Miliama the youngest of Faimata Aiolupotea Sr..
I want to share with you all, some of the greatness that is my father.
From Birth, My Dad has worked to provide and give us the best that he could.
He has taught me how to live in the moment.
He has instilled in me that family is what matters more then anything in this world.
Always taking us to his sisters homes as we grew up.
I remember my Dad working for pierce transit and he would bring my sister and i to work with him. He was so proud of what he did.
A mechanic, A cook ( burnt toast was his specialty) ... you know, I didnt ever think about making toast in the oven til My Dad one day had almost a whole loaf lined up in there.
Yuuup...That toast lasted awhile...
A security, A man who loved his action and Kung fu movies.
A Man that worked to provide and take care of what needed to get done.
I remember early mornings being waken to get ready for seminary because that's what my Dad thought would be best for us to learn. Then to school he would drop us off.
* between us, we walked right out the back door, but thats a different story*
My Dad was just laughing about that not so long ago with me... I'm glad I got to laugh it out with him... I'm also glad he thought it was funny....All these years Dad...Just like the lectures in one ear out the other 😏 School was no different.
When we got home from *cough, cough* "school" My Dad would leave around 30 minutes later to head to work and didn't get back til early morning.
He trusted us to do right.
My Dad also had a love for fishing.
Always talked about taking his Grandkids to fish.
Aaah the trip to pick clams...We spent hours out there just to come home and Dad cooked them clams up real good.
My Dad went to wash up to come back out to our Dog "MiTi" ( whom My Dad named after us...Mili and Tili, because thats what Love is.) Eating them all up
I also remember My Dads dance moves....Boooy no one can get down like my Dad... !!!!
A survivor is what My Dad is..
Teaching me how to start a fire from scratch and keep it burning.
All in All if you have ever had the pleasure of having my Dad in your presence then you know that My Dad was-is A great, great, great Man !!!
I Love you Dad !!!
