Five Years Away From Home

Interviewer: When you finally got home to your brothers and sisters, do you remember the homecoming? Yeah, well let’s see, I left home and I got back again it was five years and one month. Our little girl, my youngest sister was only eight years old and when I got back home she was getting on thirteen, fourteen. She was tall. It was a funny feeling. And I was the last one to come home from the family. See now, our family now, 1946, that was the first Christmas we spent together since 1940. And that Christmas the whole ten of us was home.
