"Who was Sean?"

Family, friends and sympathizers all decked in black stood around the the graveyard, the monstrous black clouds threatening to unleash even more despair.

"To some he was a father..."

Mary sobbed as she held her daughter Angel close, the 38 month old child was yet to understand what had happened to her father and why her older brother was putting flowers on the ground and not making flower crowns for her and her mum.

"To others he was a good man who served his country."

Military personnel saluted before returning to their stiff and equally sombre positions.

Eventually, the service ended and the mourners dispersed, leaving a man in his mid twenties with a German Shepherd staring at the grave mornfully.

A few minutes later an thai woman in her late 30s came behind him firmly placing a hand on his shoulder to offer comfort as five other people stood beside them with their heads lowered and their umbrellas out as the rain finally spilled to the ground.

"To me, he was my twin brother."
