This man deserves a post all to himself.

These past couple of weeks would not have been possible without you. When my second family needed me the most, you never once made me feel like I had to choose between being a wife and being there for them. You simply told me to go—and gave me all the time and space I needed to be fully present as we prepared to lay our brother to rest.

Thank you for holding down our home while my heart was somewhere else. Thank you for loving Mum and Dad, serving them without being asked, loving on the kids, and showing up for my family as if they were your own.

You may not think you did much, but while I was helping carry my siblings through one of the heaviest moments of our lives, you were quietly carrying me. And I’ll never forget that.

I don’t know how I would’ve made it through these weeks without your patience, your sacrifice, and your love. I love you more than words will ever be able to explain—and so do Mum, Dad, and all the kids. Thank you for being the kind of man who loves every person who comes with me. 💜 by @lkafualo

This is how I’ll always remember these two eggs—there was never a time when one twin wasn’t right next to the other. My heart aches at the news I received.

If y’all know Soni, then you know he was Vita’s right-hand guy, and Vita was his. Always together. Always looking out for each other.

Man, Soni… my heart hurts knowing your life was taken away so selfishly. You were someone who always tried to do the right thing, and knowing that you and Vita were simply trying to be Good Samaritans, only to get caught in someone else’s selfish act, makes this even harder to comprehend. You didn’t deserve that.

Vita — fight, little brother! We know you’re stronger than you think. Keep fighting and come back to us. We’re praying so hard for a safe and full recovery. Mum, Dad, and all of us need you here with us. We love you more than words can say. 🤍🙏🏽

Mum, Dad, Mone, Noma, Suila, Tohi Vea, Vita, and Haa—I love you with all of me. Our hearts are with you, and Eric and I are ready to serve wherever and however you need us. by @lkafualo

never above each other, never below each other, always beside each other. through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, may you always find your way back to one another. keep checking in, keep showing up, and keep loving each other the way Soni loved you.

when the days feel heavy and you wish more than anything he was still here, lean on each other and on the Savior. hold tight to the promise that families can be together forever. until you’re all together again. 💜🐸.

Two months in heaven, twin. Every 17th will forever be a day we won’t forget—the day that changed all of our lives forever. Life hasn’t been the same since you left.

Your siblings miss you like crazy. Mum and Dad miss you. Aunty Sally and her kids miss you. And I miss you so much.

This pain hasn’t gotten any easier. We love you and miss you every single day. Happy 2 months in heaven twin 💜💜 #justiceforsoni #LLS💜 #LL23 #smilelikesoni💜 by @lkafualo

Senior night for our boy! Ball out tonight, son, and let ’em know who you are. Uncle and I are so freakin’ proud of you and how far you’ve come in this sport. Skyline was the best move for you. Watching you play a sport that was so foreign to you and seeing how much you love it makes our hearts so happy. Tonight is all yours, Number 59! Let’s gooooo! 💙🏈 by @lkafualo

What was supposed to be a quick errand run to City Creek became a moment my heart didn’t know it was waiting for.

I was talking to my brother and, instead of turning into the store, I just kept walking. Somehow, my feet led me straight to the temple grounds. And standing there, I couldn’t help but feel that the Lord knew I needed to be close to Him—even if I hadn’t realized it yet.

I’m not perfect. I get caught up in life, and sometimes I take the Gospel for granted. But the Lord never forgets me. He knows when my heart is tired, when I need to feel His love, and when I need a quiet reminder that I can always come back to Him.

Today, He met me right where I was. My errands turned into a reminder that no matter how far my heart wanders, the Lord is still there, patiently inviting me back to the basics—and back to Him. 💜 taken in Temple Square Salt Lake City by @lkafualo

No matter how loud the outside noise gets, wrong is W R O N G. Point blank, period. Hurt feelings will NEVER justify taking a life.
.
What should’ve been a weekend celebrating Tohi and his new wife turned into unimaginable heartbreak. You were supposed to come home too, twin. 💔

We were quiet because we deserved to grieve and lay our brother to rest in peace. Our Vilisoni deserved all our love and attention. But don’t mistake our silence for acceptance.

A month without you, and we’d still give anything to have you back. Just like Aunty Seli said, “Justice will be served.” BET! We’ll keep using our voices and demanding accountability until our SONI GETS JUSTICE. ✊🏽

NO TO GUN VIOLENCE. JUSTICE FOR OUR VILISONI ANGILAU 💜🕊️ by @lkafualo

over the past week, i’ve watched my Angilau family grieve the loss of their son and brother, while also witnessing so much faith and strength as they continue to pray and believe that Vita will pull through. ❤️‍🩹

it’s made me reflect on a friendship that somehow turned into a sisterhood, and just how much i love these sisters of mine. there really is no end.

one thing about us, it only takes one call. one call and one of us is pulling up to the house, ready to help however we can. no questions asked.

and this past week, that’s all it took. one call. i dropped everything and went to be with my sisters

to sit with them. cry with them. help where i could. and just be there.

friends by chance, but sisters through life. when one hurts, we all hurt. and when one needs us, we show up. every single time. 🤍

Soni, don’t worry. Kes and I got Norms down here. 🤍 You watch over her and protect her from heaven, little brother. by @lkafualo

Year 5 ✈️✨
.
Honestly, this is probably the longest job I’ve held in a while… and somehow I’m still here 😂 (besides my hospitality days). What started as just a seasonal position somehow turned into a full-time career.
.
I’m really grateful for the opportunities Delta has given me, not only to grow at work, but to grow outside of work too. And being able to travel and see the world with my family is something I’ll never take for granted.
.
Cheers to being five years older with you, Delta ❤️🔺
