Thingyan

• The Burmese celebrate Thingyan (Water) Festival in mid-April for three or four days before ushering in the Burmese New Year.
• In our younger days, we had to stop enjoying Thingyan twice due to the loss of our loved ones :
  Uncle Eric Lwin (U Than Lwin)
  and
  Daw Mya Mya

Final Day

• Despite prayers by relatives, friends and colleagues all over the world, Dr. Kihin Tun (Peter) succumbed to COVID-19.
