i was in thailand on the isle of phi phi for the one year in memory
of tsunami.
it was meaningful to bump into some familiar faces,
whom were mourning when i met a year ago.
they are still mourning for the lost of their loved ones.
but, at least they are holding hands together,
to continue to rebuild their precious life .......
