The fabulous news is that the 20 month old Hannes Bergstrom has been reunited with his father after being ripped from his grandfather's arms during the initial Tsunami onslaught - the distraught family assumed their precious son had been lost but an American couple found a dazed Hannes in the care of Thai survivors.

Hannes and his dad Marko are now back in Sweden with Marko recovering from his injuries while dealing with the probable loss of his wife Suzanne, 32.

Young Hannes doesn't mention the wave other than having said the once "big stupid wave".

There are so many stories of horror and loss and so when there is a "happy ending" it makes things perhaps a touch more bearable for all.

The Tsunami has been called the worst natural disaster ever to hit the world and the world has come to the aid of the people affected world wide - but the rebuild iof the people affected world wide - but the rebuild is going to be going on for a long time yet so any donations need to keep coming to assist in the rebuilding process.
