** My Taonga ** //** My special treasure was given to my family when my grandpa was still alive. It is hung on a skinny old silver nail near the kitchen. When the sun gleams on it,it is shiny because it has been varnished. I don’t know how old it is but I do know that we have had it in our family for a very long time. It has small black rope attached to it so you can wear it. ** // //** When I wear it,it feels like my grandpa is here. Even when I look at it,it reminds me of him. I think that this is very special because my grandpa is no longer here. He died on the 18th of December in 2004 and is now buried in Manukau memorial centre. ** // //** The treasure is made of wood,it has the Niuean greeting on it and another word in Niuean, meaning good luck. I miss my grandpa so much and I think that if he had not left it I don’t think I would be writing this story now. ** // //** I will treasure this for as long as I live until I have children. When they are adults I will give it to them to treasure and look after unt ** // ** il they have children. **
