The death of our beloved brother - Tomasi Waqanimaravu Tanumi - RD 4


This dream occured a week before the event became reality. It was in the month of July the year 2009. Unlike the dream i had about my dad, this one was a bit of a mystery. In my mum's family there were 10 of them and the funny thing about this dream, I saw my aunt- Lois Tanumi, who resides in Australia siting next to a coffin inside our living room - crying. I could also see all the sisters surrounding the coffin, and their body gesture indicated that it was a close family. I could not see the person who was inside the coffin and upon waking up from the dream, I felt so afraid and constantly thinking who might it be. I had to tell my family about the dream and ask them if there was some meaning to all of it. First I thought it was my aunt, who had breast cancer and I had to let her know. She told me that it was important for me to pray about it and have a positive thinking at all times. But how could I?? I mean the last time I had this kind of weird dreams it became a reality.
The following week, upon my late night studies in Uni, I was given the bad news about the sudden death of our beloved cousin brother - Tomasi Tanumi who was the eldest son of my aunt who resides in Australia.
The sisters, my mum, aunty meme and aunty susi were all in one room awaiting the next call from their sister in Australia. They told me that indeed my dream has turned out to be real after all. The death of Tomu came as a shock to all of my mums family, it was a mystery death after all and to this day investigations are still underway as to explain what really happened to him.....was it murder or suicide??This questions is still a blank of white paper.
Tomu was considered to be the number 11 in the family and a twin to aunty Site who is pictured above. He was to turn 40 in September 19th but was called to rest on July 13th 2009. He had two beautiful girls and was married to an Australian woman. He was raised up in Soso, Naceva, Kadavu, Fiji and later moved to Australia in his teens. He will be dearly missed by all his family in Fiji and will not be forgotten. Rest In Peace my brother.

  1. I was raised in a house of methodist and catholics church goers and sometime even invited by other denominations from extended memebers of the family,there was no escaping the whole idea of being in the realm of a higher power and the divine sense of protection,or so i thought;so my point is the path is pretty much chosen for us right?but why are we still dreaming if half the task is done for us through his second coming;how can one person believe in trust,but how does one person really know how a trust for his faith feels the same trust they have for there own body breathing for them when there asleep;i mean it just does not compute it isnt in the same leauge;and to wake up and say wow that dream was a bazzer dream,i understand it happens;it even happens to me;i just dont take no notice of it;however i will tell someone about it,if its new i try to make sense of it,and knowing me it will all be incripted,my dreams arent meant to be straight forward,but it is if you get my meaning.
