Here one day. Gone one night.
The night I lost Paul, I began to write. I wrote every day for a whole year, and through it all, my faith in God held me up.
This is that year, with a scripture for every day.
With love, Tupou
Hutshe. She heard me. She stayed.She walked every day of this year beside me.

Micah 7:8About Tupou
Tupou is a Pacific woman of faith, a proud mother of four and a grandmother, living in New Zealand with her dog, Hutshe.
In September 2025 she lost the love of her life, Paul, without warning. That same night she began to write, and she wrote every day for a whole year. Today she carries on the community work Paul started, and shares her year so that no one has to walk through grief alone.
