Family Tell Of Frantic Bid To Contact Missing Man

When travelling, we usually get aquaintanances very fast, especially if we travel alone. Most of these new "friendships" won't last long and this should be considered as a completely normal thing. But sometimes you get much more attached with someone whom you didn't know a month ago. It depends on what both of you went trough together, i guess.
When tsunami hit Patong beach on Phuket, i was pretty worried about this dude, William Kerr, whom i met in Thailand and who reported today for this blog in an article Patong aftermath by William Kerr. Luckily he's safe and kicking. He also has got relatives. This is their tsunami related story.

William Kerr, 23, from Lurgan, was spending Christmas in the Thai resort of Patong - one of the areas consumed by massive torrents of water early on Sunday morning.
His mother and two sisters have been frantically trying to contact him since they heard about the disaster, but last night, over 36 hours later, they still had no word.
"We rang his mobile the minute we heard, but it keeps going onto a network messaging service," William's sister, Michelle, told the News Letter.

Thank you for staying safe and thank you for the Patong beach story, Willy.
