Kawee's last days at home.

Today marks the beginning of violence in Thailand. There was confrontation between the government and the anti-government riot. Hope this violence will not expand and will end soon.

Another part o my life is that today is Kawee's last day in Thailand before he leaves to do this undergraduate at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. I've already begun missing him since yesterday. LOL. Just as Saiyai, my eldest child, left to study at NYU, on the 15th. Even though she said she's doing alright, except the fact that she misses her family so much, I can't help but worry and miss her.

I've gathered pictures of Kawee, in his last few days before he leaves for Vancouver. Just for the sweet memories in the family, and to share them with our lovely friends.

Oh! Today Kawee enjoyed eating Thai food. I told him to eat it up because once he's in Canada, Thai and Chinese food will be out of his reach. LOL.

Before the day could come that Kawee would go to UBC. Kawee faced a crisis in his life, when our family had economic difficulties, just like many other middle-class families in Thailand. This brought out many people who we are so grateful for and will forever be in my memory. This include Kawee's School Headmaster (Harrow International School of Thailand), Dr. Hensmann. He valued Kawee and gave him a scholarship to stay in school. I still remember his words, explaining his decision that Kawee was too good for him to let go simply because our family had financial difficulties. His favor was too good to be true.!!!

The other one is Herbert. He is Kawee's Drama teacher and tutor (homeroom teacher) for 4 years. Many people say that Westerners see teaching as simply a career. Something to pay the bills. I would like to confirm that Herbert is a tutor who cares and love his students, and tries to do his best for his students, including Kawee. Herbert helped Kawee in everyway during his school years. He even paid for Kawee's univerisity admission fees.

Other than that, my family has never forgotten Mrs. Lakhana Katawetikul, the owner of American School of Bangkok. Before Kawee came to study at Harrow, Mrs. Lakhana was so kind and warm to Kawee and to my family.

I don't know how to thank them but I am very appreciated. All of you instilled in my son the love for learning.

Kent & Alysia, two UBC Alumni, visited Thailand before going on to India. They were our guests at our place. Kawee took the Alumnis to the Dhamakaya Temple, where my family often visit. They took pictures in the church.

The England National Football Coach, came to visit Thailand. Kawee was fortunate to meet him and took a photo with him.

At Kawee's farewell party, he gave a speech.

Kawee was pushed into the pool and took photos with his friends. The girl on the left is Aim, one of Kawee's friend who will be going to UBC with him. The girl on Kawee's right is Pim, the owner of the house. The girl on the right Margo, one of Kawee's old friend.

Kawee and his Prom date, Jenny. In this event, Kawee was voted King.

This photo was taken at the prom. This was his tutor class (homeroom.) The man in the black-suit, on the right is Mr. Herbert. The person I said I admire so much.

This picture is both cute and sad. Brooke still sleeps on Kawee's chest in her last few nights with him.
