Forty Thousand people lost their lives in Sri Lanka in the Tsunami of 2004. This story pays tribute to them but covers details of how my wife and myself survived, including the escape and what happened next. The latter includes a return to the country, providing employment but also to encourage overseas investment in order to help local people. It also explains how we overcame problems in operating in the country but then faced further challenges. The story also goes on to cover the second part of extra time following a heart attack and triple bypass.
