The Sadness Of The Groom

There is an underlying sadness I have noticed with the groom this trip. In the past he was almost always smiling but now there seems to be a sadness a burden on his shoulders. With 2 children and a wife to take care of he must worry and think too much everyday. He is only 19 or 20 but has so many responsibilities and only a the limited difficult and very uncertain future.

I have given them food, clothing for the children, money for a working tool, but it all adds up to not much.. He asked me for a radio that cost 300 Baht ($11.40 CAD), will try to get him that.
