Posting this a few hours early for some of us but it's already 23rd November in Fiji.
We hear that our 1960s visitor Mohammed Yakub is doing well and today celebrating his 98th birthday at his home in Fiji . His granddaughter has written to say, "Nearing December we do have decorated shops, but the weather is hot and humid. Granddad is doing great, still rides horses and his never ending stories. We really can't wait for his big day."
Happy birthday Mohammed Yakub
Some concerning news of Mohammed Yakub received this morning.
I am writing this email to update you on my grandfather.
He recently had an operation 3 weeks ago of his left femur, due to the fracture he had sustained at his home. The surgery was a success. However, on his road to recovery he is undergoing some issues with inflection and with his age, the healing is slow, overall is not well as we speak.
We are praying that he recovers and is back on his feet and tell stories just like the old times.
Lots of best wishes from fiji.
