Words can't express how proud, grateful and humbled I am to have Ofa
Latu as my brother. But I will try my best to express it through this
blog post. (cuz I'm cool like that. Right fatso?)

Senior year? |
Ofa
Latu has been the most annoying, irritating, weird, strange, stink
little brother to have walked this earth. (Except maybe Vini.) People do
not understand the annoyance I had to deal with, with this boy. People
will try and argue with me on how "annoying" their sibling is, but as
soon as I'm done explaining, I simply rest my case with them replying
with "dang that is annoying". He is the type that did ANYTHING to prove
he was right. And I mean anything. He is the type that will convince you
that you are wrong even if you really are right. And he will manipulate
the conversation/story/fact to fit his opinion. He always has to have
the last say. I seriously mean it. Under his breath, in a text, on a
piece of paper that he throws at your face. Plus he is extremely
talented. He runs extremely fast (so NO ONE ever got him), he always had
to touch you last (even if it meant he brushed by you 6 hours later),
and he always got his way (perks of being mommy's favorite. admit it MOM
you and gramma's fave is the OFA ki LIAHONA child). And he was so
goofy, regardless of if you were right/wrong/whatever, he would make you
laugh and forget about it instantly, which is probably the most
annoying thing of all for a person who is ALWAYS unhappy. (me)

With
that said, Fatso (Ofa) is also the most loving, caring, considerate and
brave boys I've ever known. He always looked out for me. In Jr High he
would let me hang out with him and his friends cuz I wasn't cool enough
to really have my own. He watched out for me in high school, always made
sure I ate, gave me his candy (that wasn't hidden or half eaten, and he
ALWAYS had candy), let me make mistakes (even in front of him) and let
me fall when I needed too (while laughing). Even after I got married, he
watched my son every night with his girlfriend (Nini I will forever be
in debt to you too), gave me money when I needed it (even though he was a
poor high school/college student) and loved me regardless of my
mistakes and flaws. He is everybody's favorite. (well him and Na'a are
technically at a tie) Kids (not just mine) LOVE HIM. They flock to him
like flies on doodoo (hahahahahaha) and they love his free spirit and
jokes.

Semi-Finals Senior year |
Without a doubt, I am so blessed to have your
stink face in my life. You have always been there for me. Regardless of
all the things we went through (and we've been through a lot), you
always had a smile (teeth or no teeth), was sure that things would be
alright and laughed the whole way. I love you for all you've done for me
because I know that's just YOU. You're going to be a great missionary,
not because I'm supposed to say that to all missionaries, but because
you'll be able to bless others lives like you have blessed mine. I've
written about you before, but I wanted to share again because you're
simply one of the best brothers I've had so far... (no I don't think mom
them will have another child, but when na'a and my other sisters get
married that adds more brothers.) May God continue to watch over you and
guide you in your journey. You're the best. I love you stink boy!!
(Indiana you better be good to my brother!!)
