Just wanted to share apretty cool story here. My father passed away in 2004 in effort to fundraise money to help improve the library for his school’s alma mater. despite an ongoing miniature financial crisis in life–he always found time and reason to help others. i think that’s where he found his wealth.

Years prior he was driving onthe southern coast of Guam one day where he spotted twoscantily clad, dark-complexion men of obvious foreign descent stranded on the side of the road. though my father was on schedule for an appointment he made time to pull over and offer them assistance. their rent-acar had broken down and they needed aride to their hotel.

He offered them a lift–i believe they were either taying at thePacificStar or the HiltonResort Guam. my father had driven an old camry, the aircon was busted and the car hadnt been washed for weeks.

Regardless, he had driven them over to notice a massive entourage of attendants and photographers waiting for something.  To his surprise when they were spotted–the small crownd of people surrounded the car and treated the men as if they were royalty.

It turns out that they were..one of the men was the President of Nauru. it turns out that he broke away from his assistants and wanted to see the island of Guam from a regular travelers eyes. he offered my father an all-expenses paid trip with accomodations as his personal guest to Nauru. but my father was so caught up trying to make his appointment that he lost all the information. But he had no regrets because their sign of relief was payment enough.

Honored to have this blood run in my veins.

They often say that if your good deeds doesnt find its way back to you directly it will do so for your children. For whatever success Fokai has enjoyed, and for whatever absence of happiness in his life that he might have missed out on– this is perfect testament for this truth.

Thanks Dad. Rest InPeace. GoodTimes in the afterlife. See you on the other side.
