"My karanga, but I can't hear a response." Gosh, i felt that in my bones & those hugs at the end 😭 helped my inner child, too. Thaaaank you for sharing. Beautiful
Sorry that you never had a happy ending, life can be sad like that. I share the same experience, outcome. It is what it is. Hope you are happy in life.
I met my birth mother when I was 30, but no longer in contact. My birth father died two years after I was adopted. I agree it made me happy for this young lady meeting her father.
What a beautiful reunion with your Dad became emotional watching your story would be awesome for a part 2 thank you for sharing may your journey continue with many more precious moments God bless💖
I've watched so many families reuniting. This one was the best one yet. I'm so happy for you Mikoto. What a wonderful heritage. Japanese. You touch the taonga of your people in Aotearoa. Now it begins with your Pāpã. That's just mind blowing!!! Tena koe, kotiro.❤ Your very unique. Enjoy your new journey. I bet the food is palatable... And don't forget a update. ❤. Nga mihi Te Hui.
August 2024 - aaawww my gossshh, i teared up when you first met Pappa .. aaawww ... Beautiful for you both after sooo sooo long. x x x 25:30 - them heartfelt soul hugs woww.
True story, Jerry Rawlings Ghana's late military ruler from the 80s through the 90s was fathered by a Scottish man and Ghanaian woman whilst working in Ghana before that country gained independence. Whilst he was still a teenager, he had an opportunity to travel to Scotland all the way from Ghana to visit his father's home sometime I believe in the early 70s. He did not get a good reception. The front door was basically slammed in his face as his biological father denied he was his son. A very tragic true story that scarred the man for the rest of his life. Sometimes it's best not to try.
Wow, te Sunny Napier. I remember that tima ( ship ) Man, what memories this brings back. So happy you found your papa. A lot of us have children to seamen, they all around the same age as you, darling. What a blast from the past for me. ❤❤❤
Wow what a turnaround from dead end to day with her dad 😢 awesome story Ka pai te korero kua hinga nga roimata engari ka waihotia te taonga a ka tutaki korua me tou whanau
Thank you so much for sharing your family story ❤ You are one beautiful soul just like you precious Father. I’m happy that you found him and he is in good health as well ❤ I cried the whole time watching your reunion 🥺 very touching 😢
What a beautiful reunion for you and your papa. His moko will now know as you do the importance of belonging. Would love to see an update of you all together. Very humbling. Aatahua
My mother passed in 1947 from tuberculosis; after than I saw my dad a couple of times..He passed in 1960 in Kansas City. Your story realy touched me. I tmade think of MY DAD. I am now 81 years old.
When will they be thinking of flying out with the family to see him again. I am hoping to see her meet her half sister as well if she can. It was a great uniting..so happy for her..
Now that the Sunday program has gone the Hui is a great substitute and their stories have been just as good if not better,thank you Hui for these stories incredible watch keep them coming 🫡👊
Migoto, I'm so happy for you my friend. Beautiful story. You're a fantastic lady and a taonga to our people. I'm overjoyed for you, you deserve this simple happiness. Maraea (who worked w you at TP). Bless you girl!
I cried when I watched The Hui. Thank you so much for sharing your story Eria. You have a lovely husband and a handsome son. Your dad was excited to see you. Blessings and aroha from Aotearoa.
Migoto, if you read this, this really tugged at the heart strings. There are other Māori that are half Japanese and half Māori. They live in Huntly, the Noda whānau. I used to go to school with a few of them
I cried watching this. I was adopted under 5 weeks old. I met my birth mother when I was 30, but only twice. I have not met my birth Father as he had already died many years ago. I am happy for this lady to be reunited with her Papa.
Ataahua Migoto🙏. Your mama her wairua would have been there right beside you and your papa. I love these stories and yes I do have a tangi but happy tears. Much aroha to you and your whanau xxx
I'm very very happy that both of you were able to meet each other and you guys are very lucky. So, when are you going meet your father with your family? Would be very happy to see that.
So happy for everyone 🫶🏼 Lovely to watch😊 Did they meet up again? Or organising something again? I’d imagine they’ve also kept in touch, I’m sure the grandson has wanted to meet him for sure. A follow up to this would be lovely to see or at least hear about❤
E Te Tuahine Tenei Taku Mihi Kia Koe What A Journey What A Story So Glad And Happy For You Finding Your Papa Lots Memories Hugs Tears Wonderful Beautiful Many Blessings 😀😀😀😀
Beautiful story. 😭 I know it is not customary for Japanese people to show emotions, but I wonder if her father goes home and cries by himself for having seen his daughter and knowing that her mom (someone he obviously loved at one point in life) have passed.

The initial handshake had me feeling uncomfortable although I know that is the Japanese way. I'm so glad he gave her a heartfelt hug in the end.
I'm crying in this video it's so touching my hearts
Hope your father's alright from that earthquake n do you still talk to your father aftr your meeting..it's good you met up with your father..

I am so happy for you. It took me 39 years to find my dad
Beautiful story ❤
Thank you! 🙂
So lovely, so sad. I wonder why the parents parted loving each other so dearly?
I cried when I watched The Hui. Thank you so much for sharing your story Eria. You have a lovely husband and a handsome son. Your dad was excited to see you. Blessings and aroha from Aotearoa.
Beautiful relationship father and daughter. Lost time.
Migoto, if you read this, this really tugged at the heart strings. There are other Māori that are half Japanese and half Māori. They live in Huntly, the Noda whānau. I used to go to school with a few of them
Love that heart felt story she has finally found herself in the bond of her long lost father. Thanks for sharing your story ❤❤
This is so wonderful. I hope their relationship only gets better.
This beautiful story really touched my heart deeply.

I cried watching this. I was adopted under 5 weeks old. I met my birth mother when I was 30, but only twice. I have not met my birth Father as he had already died many years ago. I am happy for this lady to be reunited with her Papa.
That was so beautiful that after all these years you found your Papa and knowing he loved you and your Mum ❤
That was something. Such good watch.
Wonderful God bless you both.
Ataahua Migoto🙏. Your mama her wairua would have been there right beside you and your papa. I love these stories and yes I do have a tangi but happy tears. Much aroha to you and your whanau xxx
That was really cool to watch from Brisbane
Part 2 fam. We need a follow up when she goes to Japan with her family.
I'm very very happy that both of you were able to meet each other and you guys are very lucky. So, when are you going meet your father with your family? Would be very happy to see that.
This is so sad but beautiful. My son walked in (he's 22) why you crying mum? lol.
Such a beautiful and sad story. I cried bucket loads!!
Beautiful lady!!!!!!
So happy for everyone 🫶🏼
Lovely to watch😊
Did they meet up again? Or organising something again?
I’d imagine they’ve also kept in touch, I’m sure the grandson has wanted to meet him for sure.
A follow up to this would be lovely to see or at least hear about❤
E Te Tuahine Tenei Taku Mihi Kia Koe What A Journey What A Story So Glad And Happy For You Finding Your Papa Lots Memories Hugs Tears Wonderful Beautiful Many Blessings 😀😀😀😀
Never too late ❤
That was beautiful happy ending lovely
Blessings ❤
Omg this is incredible ❤❤❤
Father and daughter didn’t hug when they met. But in 25:33 they finally did. That was unusual to me 😊
So beautiful heart touching beautiful
There are many unspoken words here. So much sadness amongst the happiness.
Beautiful story. 😭 I know it is not customary for Japanese people to show emotions, but I wonder if her father goes home and cries by himself for having seen his daughter and knowing that her mom (someone he obviously loved at one point in life) have passed.
Amazing how long it took before they hugged each other.
