love Ariki <3
8 May 2026
Your mum is the only person who will ever love you completely and unconditionally through the hardest days, the happiest moments, and every in-between. My mum has always been that person for me. She has never once let me believe I am anything less than who I am, and even on the hardest days of her own life, she still somehow puts everyone else first.
My mum is the strongest person I know. She inspires me every single day, and I truly would not be who I am without her. She is my best friend, my safe place, and the heart of our family. There is something so deeply unfair about having to live more of your life without your mum than with her, and I honestly cannot imagine going through life without mine.
If I had the choice in every lifetime, I would choose her to be my mum every single time.
Right now, she is facing the hardest battle of her life, but she continues to fight with so much strength and courage. More than anything in this world, I just want more time with my mum. I need my mum.
Love Ariki
