L57-1: Back in theold country
I stopped to letthe car cool off and to study the map. I had expected to be near my objectiveby now, but everything still seemed alien to me. I was only five when my fatherhad taken me abroad, and that was 18 years ago. When my mother had died after atragic accident, he did not quickly recover from the shock and loneliness.Everything around him was full of her presence, continually reopening thewound. So he decided to emigrate. In the new country he became absorbed inmaking a new life for the two of us, so that he gradually ceased to grieve. Hedid not marry again and I was brought up without a woman's care; but I lackedfor nothing, for he was both father and mother to me.
