A myriad of stars in the heavens represents our loved ones who have passed away.

I remember picnicking under the night sky with my two Nannies, our house was on top of a hill, laying down looking towards the sky and seeing millions of stars. A sight I’ll never forget. During the day you don’t see them, that means our tūpuna are resting.
