Two decades have marched by since Joe Giardina lost his ‘joyful’ and ‘loving’ son Paul but his memory burns brighter than ever. Joe, his wife Evanna and their 16-year-old son Paul were on holiday in Phuket, Thailand when the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami struck, killing 227,898 people.
Paul was one of them. He was swept away in the wave while Joe, who tried to save his son, survived a near-drowning in an incredible stroke of luck.
