Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Heoi, i te 34 o oku tau, i muri i te 15 tau e tumanako ana kia rere ke, ka tino hiahia ahau kia hapu. Kua rite a Russell, taku tahu, ki te noho hei matua, kua haumaru mātou ā-pūtea, ā, i muri i te whakatika i tētahi maheni wiki i New York mō ngā tau e whā i tino taumaha ai, kua rite ahau ki te whakarere me te arotahi ki te hanga i tētahi whānau. Kotahi tekau ma tahi marama i muri mai, i te mea kaore ano taku tinana kia mahi i taku i tono ai, ka pouri ahau, ka manukanuka, ka mataku. Ko te whaea whakapehapeha a Sarah Ivens me ana tamariki tokorua, ko William (maui) me Matilda kotahi tau te pakeke (pokapū) 'Kua roa rawa ahau ki te whai tamariki?<unk> Ka tangi atu au ki a Russell i te marama i muri i te marama, i te mamae o taku kopu i te tīmatanga o taku wā, e whakakiia ana e te wehi e tipu haere ana, kei te ngaro i a mātau toku tinana. <unk>Ko tōku mahi te mea tuatahi, ko te haere me te whai i tō mātou marena moemoea. Inaianei kei te āwangawanga ahau he pakeke rawa ahau. I mataku au, nā aku whakataunga i ora ai, kāore e taea te whakatutuki i aku moemoea pēpi. I oku tau i mua i te whanautanga, ka whakaekehia ahau e nga whakaahua o nga tangata rongonui e wha tekau ma tahi tau, e whakamanamana ana ki te ngawari o te haputanga ma te tere me te tere. Ko te tikanga, i whakamatau ngā kōrero whakamataku i roto i ngā pakiwaitara ki te whakatenatena i ahau kia rite tonu taku tūponotanga ki te whai hua i muri i te 30 o oku tau, ki taku tūponotanga ki te eke ki ngā whiringa toa o The X Factor, engari kua whakatau ahau ki te whai i ngā whetū, ki te mau i ngā mataaratanga. Ko te mea pono, i tere taku kitenga, kei tētahi wāhi i waenganui i te mamae o te ngākau, te hara me te pōhēhē e kitea ana e ngā wāhine kei te hemo i a rātau e whakaaro ana ki te whānautanga. Whanau hari: I muri i nga tau o te mamae o te ngakau, e rua nga tamariki a Sarah raua ko Russell, ko William (i waenganui) me Matilda. Ka mea a Zita West, tohunga ki te hapūtanga: "Ki taku whakaaro i roto i te huarahi o te ao hou kua kino te wahine. <unk>Kei te kī mai ki a mātou ka taea e mātou te whai i ngā mea katoa, nō reira ka haere ngā wāhine ki te pire i a rātou e hanga ana i ō rātou mahi mō ngā tau maha, maha, e huna ana i ngā take katoa e pā ana ki a rātou pēnei i te mate o te whāriki o te whāriki o te whāriki o te whāriki o te whāriki o te whāriki o te whāriki. 'Kātahi ka whakatau rātau ki te whai tamariki i a rātau tau 30, ka ohorere rātau mēnā kāore e rite ki ta rātau i whakamahere ai. E mōhio ana mātou ko te whai hua...
