Horrible story:

Dolphins DT Paul Soliai lost 12 members of his family in American Samoa after the recent tsunami.
The tsunami killed one aunt, an uncle and 10 of his wife's relatives. "It's been crazy, but it's mother nature," Soliai said. "You can't control it. I've been talking to some of my family members. They say there's so much damage, they're still finding so many bodies."
``It's something that's going to motivate me,'' he said. ``I'm going to play for my people back home and my family. It's going to be a special week.''

Crazy to think that this guy has to deal with all of this while he's preparing to play. Sounds like one tough mofo.

You and yours are in my prayers Paul. As are all who lost someone there.

This is the only thing I’ve learned: There’s only us. There’s no them. Despots and authoritarians need to make a “them” to have a straw man whom you are against. If you need to make an enemy of “them,” you’ve lost the spirit of us. - Ken Burns of PBS

Mainly in-laws.

Just saying it likely doesn't hurt nearly as much as it would if he were directly related to them.

Thoughts and prayers are following Paul and family from my end...

I saw an interview of him this PM concerning his loss... seems like he was holding back tears...
