In Khao Lak, held today a Swedish ceremony and remember the 543 Swedes who died in the tsunami disaster in just ten years ago.
Elisabeth Triggway from Umeå has gone down to the beach in the morning, at precisely the time when the wave hit enter. She brings an orchid and put it in a heart she drew in the sand.
– I bought this orchid in Bangkok to bring in honor of all those who died in the tsunami, it was very many people.
The clock 10:26 in Khao Lak is the overcast, cold, but the sun trying to break through. People located in beach chairs, jogging, blowing up simpuffar to their children. It is probably just as then, at 10:26, ten years ago. Then when the first wave rolled in over Khao Lak.
– My thoughts go to the families. It is hard to imagine that it was so powerful here when you see this quiet, beautiful day. The sea is so shiny, think that it could happen something so terrible here.
At 17 o’clock local time start the Swedish memorial ceremony and the priest Erik Stenberg Roos is closing speaker. He has just stepped off the stage where they had dress rehearsal for the afternoon.
– The main message is that if one shares with them a difficult and heavy pain, so you can help each other to get through it. Nobody should have to bear the pain after the tsunami alone, but there is help available. There are many strong emotions that are running, but it feels like we’re a bunch together’ll try to make this dignified and beautiful.
