  kathleen : "there's no place like home"

touching experience

hi all,

i heard a remarkable story about a 9 year old vietnamese boy who's father placed him alone on a ship to escape the vietnam conflict. the ship wrecked and this child swam to shore. he lived alone in a cave for 6 months. when asked how he survived he said, ” i befriended the monkeys. when i did not collect shrimp or fish, the monkeys brought me fruit.” they helped this child stay alive with their companionship and nourishment. i send them my gratitude and love.
love-
kathleen
