A special thanks to an amazing person
Once word of this tragic event had circulated around the small traveling community of Don Det, one man rose above all others and was a rock for everyone there. He is Evan.
When Evan found out that there we not able to move James till the next day, it was Evan who decided to take the 1.5 hour walk to the waterfall to be with James through the night. Graham went with him and soon the remaining 6 followed.
Evan took it upon himself to look after James as much as possible and to look after the rest of us when the times were tough.
When Evan found out that they were going to move James to Pakse first (then Vientein and Bangkok)he, without hesitation, said that he would travel with James until his family arrived, so that James would never be alone.
There are not many people on this earth who would have done what Evan did for a Guy that he had only met a few times. Many of us there wanted to ensure that people realised what Evan did well above the call of duty!
I am sure that James family will be a little comforted to know that James always had at least one friend with him until he was back with his family.
Thank you Evan, you have inspired many of us more than you can possible know!
