FIRST TO’ONA’I OF THE YEAR WITHOUT CHEF | STILL IN THE HOSPITAL

[@Izastwin]

@those who feel they have to text a whole novel about how the Afulu family should eat, please refrain, if you are a true sub and viewer of their channel you will see how much their food habits have changed. I am sure Rita and Chef know how to deal with things as these issues arise. Please try to be a lot more considerate and conscious of what you put out there, as Islanders we eat as our ancestors have done for centuries. I praise Rita and Chef because they raised wonderful, strong respectful children, who trust in God’s grace and teachings, as well know their mother tongue. Many blessings to you the Afulu family, speedy recovery to Chef may he come home soon🙏🏾❤️💐

[@fayevids7391]

Speedy recovery Chef ❤ It’s not the same when a family member is missing from the home. Rita, you got this. You’re strong and you’re doing a great job. God bless always ❤❤😊 And Happy New Year 😊

[@peps77]

So much sadness in Tama’s eyes in this one; he really misses his dad. I hope Chef gets well soon. I hope your family have a blessed and happy new year. ❤

Blessings upon you both and the family. My husband has been on dialysis for almost 15 years. He defied all Doctors predictions, cause the one and only Doctor is our Heavenly Father. I think it’s up to us how we want our health to be, either we eat healthy and in moderation and especially getting rid of bad habits, sweets and salty food. My husband too did not want to be on dialysis, and told the Doctor off. After awhile he had to be admitted because he gotten sick, that’s when they told him, dialysis is his option at the time. He’s still young, and his other option is a kidney transplant. I want to encourage you sis Rita to remain faithful in God’s healing, but also need to make changes to chefs diet. I see you guys add a lot of spices and seasoning to your food. I get sad seeing my husband on dialysis and I cry often, but no one to blame but himself. He has regrets but we can’t go back in time and change or correct them. Pau a le mea o le faafiafia ma tatalo I le Atua e Foai mai le Ola ma le malosi, ae maise le malamalama ina ia aoaoina ai foi I tulaga e tatau na sui ai foi se laasaga ua iai. Thanks for sharing! Your friends from Tacoma, Washington. Happy New Year!

What about help him make better choices instead of saying its his fault. Everybody gotta be on the same page.

[@tsmauit]

Hi Rita, you're an amazing woman and a great mother to your kids. The last part where the kids are all on the couch playing, my husband turned to me and said "kalofa e ia Rita, ai ua misia e ia chef" 😞 Praying for healing over Chef so we could see you guys together again in the next video 🙏🏼 Wishing you all a Happy New Year and God bless ♥️✨

I admire the strong connection your family shares. It brings back memories of my own childhood, filled with laughter and joy. You can genuinely see the love within your family. I hope the chef recovers quickly so he can reunite with his wonderful family. Sending all my love to your lovely little family! ❤

Hope chef is ok! It’s the food he eats. Green bananas are high in potassium. Do your research on high potassium foods and kut it off. All so potato’s and taro are also high in potassium. God speed for chef. Happy new years

He’s gonna be fine! He knows he’s not supposed to be eating processed foods! Lots of walking will help tremendously! Eliminate processed foods and above all, any sweet drinks. Raw veggie diet for 90 days will bring change. The lemon water is okay 👍, and one more thing, Moringa tea if available in your community!
