My friend Pigge interviewed by Radio Netherlands Worldwide

A few days ago I was posting photos to Sid who works at Radio Netherlands Worldwide. They have made an interview with my friend Pigge Werkelin about when the tsunami hit Thailand in 2004, how Pigge survived but lost his wife and two kids. He struggled to find their bodies and had them cremated. All three of them. One at a time. When he finally returned to Sweden he was very clear about wanting to have a new family. He didn’t want to live alone. He met Monika who lost her husband in a car accident in february 2005. She had two children and now they together have two small daugthers.

I worked with Pigge and could see how the sorrow affected him. Today I am very happy that he and Monika have succeded in building up a family together.

This interview was a reminder. Pigges part starts after 22 minutes.
