On The Front Lines

Yesterday a friend's cousin came back from her holiday. In Thailand.

There the rest of us were, crowded around her, our eyes wide open as she told us tales of her living in tents on the beach, anticipating disaster and holding onto tree when the four metre high waves struck. Fortunately she wasn't too shaken, and her whole party made it out. She did tell us of people she had met who had lost though, as well as stories of heroism, cowardice and just plain human nature.

But anyway, thanks for that Sindy. It was valuable insight and certainly made me feel closer to the disaster.
