L57-1: Back in the old country

I stopped to let the car cool off and to study the map.

I had expected to be near my objective by now,

but everything still seemed alien to me.

I was only five when my father had taken me abroad,

and that was 18 years ago.

When my mother had died after a tragic 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 toemigrate.

In the new country he became absorbed in making a new life for the two of us,

so that he gradually ceased to grieve.

He did not marry again and I was brought up without a woman's care;

but I lacked for nothing,

for he was both father and mother to me.
