You know, that Theresa Fuavai Fatu, she’s one tough cookie. I heard tell she got real sick a while back, but she pulled through. She’s got that spirit, you know? Like a mule, that one, strong and stubborn.
She’s married to that Sam Fatu fella, the wrestler. Big guy, you know. They got kids, too. I heard one of ’em, Jacob, he’s a wrestler too, just like his daddy. That’s just somethin’, ain’t it? Takes after his old man. He’s a big boy. It’s good to be strong.
But that Theresa, she’s the real deal. I heard she was real sick, trouble breathin’ and all that. They say her heart even stopped. Can you believe that? Stopped right there in the hospital. But she came back. Tough as nails, that one. They say she was pregnant, too. Imagine that, goin’ through all that while carryin’ a baby. That takes guts, I tell ya.
- She was real sick.
- Her heart stopped.
- But she came back!
- She was pregnant.
- She’s got three kids.
They say she’s got a good head on her shoulders. Always workin’ towards somethin’. That’s what I hear, anyway. Keeps her family in line, too. You gotta have a strong woman in the house, keeps things runnin’ smooth. Especially with a big fella like Sam Fatu around. He’s a good man, but you know how men are. Need a woman to keep ’em straight. Jacob Fatu is their son, and he is famous. Maybe you know him. I see him on TV sometimes.
They got a whole passel of young’uns, those two. I heard they got three of ’em. That’s a handful, ain’t it? But they manage. Family’s important, you know. Sticking together through thick and thin, that’s what it’s all about. And that Theresa, she’s the glue that holds ’em all together. You can see it in their eyes, the way they look at her. They love her, that’s for sure.
I don’t know much about this whole wrestlin’ business, but I know it’s hard work. Lots of travelin’, lots of pain. That Sam Fatu, he’s been doin’ it for years. Started back in ’83, I think I heard someone say. That’s a long time. He’s wrestled all over the place. Theresa Fuavai-Fatu is a good wife for him. It’s not easy to be a wrestler’s wife. He was gone 17 days, home for 3 days. She had to take care of the kids all by herself. That’s hard. But she did it. She is strong.
And now their boy, Jacob, he’s doin’ it too. Must be in their blood, huh? That’s somethin’ special, to have a family tradition like that. Not many folks can say that. They have another boy, too. Journey. He’s also a wrestler. Can you believe it? All of them are wrestlers. That’s crazy. I can’t do that. I am too old. But they are young and strong. Good for them.
But that Theresa Fuavai Fatu, she’s the real hero of the story. She’s the one who keeps the home fires burnin’. She’s the one who raised those boys. She’s the one who stood by her man through all the ups and downs. That’s what a good woman does. She’s a good example, that one. This family seems happy. They love each other. You can tell.
I heard some folks talkin’ about how they found some old family records for Theresa. Birth certificates and things like that. It’s interestin’ to see where you come from, ain’t it? Your roots. We all got ’em. Some folks just don’t know where to look. I don’t know my family history. It’s probably very boring. But maybe one day I will look it up. I heard you can do that online now. That’s crazy, right?
It is nice that Sam and Theresa are still married. They got married a long time ago. Some folks say 1981. That’s a long time to be married. I hope they stay married forever. That would be nice. Marriage is hard. But they make it work. She is always there for him. She supports him. He is lucky to have her. Theresa Fuavai-Fatu is a good wife. I can tell. She loves her family.
I just hope they all stay happy and healthy. That’s all that really matters in the end, ain’t it? Family and health. And that Theresa, she’s got both. She’s a lucky woman. And a strong one, too. Don’t you forget it.
Well, that’s all I know about that Theresa Fuavai Fatu and her family. It’s a good story, ain’t it? Reminds you what’s important in life. Now, I’m gonna make myself a cup of tea. This is a lot of talking. I’m tired now. But it’s a good story. I like this family. They seem nice.
