Coming home to his mother after the war
We were there over a year — I was so happy to get back. I still had not told my mother what I had gone through, I just said everything was fine. Here I am intact and in one piece. By that time she was so glad to see me that she completely accepted me back and I don’t think she even listened to what I told her.
