-
I told her I was, and she said: “You’re late!”.
-
“Well, I have just got here”.
-
She offered to go tell my parents to come greet me, but before she left I asked her what the situation was, since she knew my family.
-
“Everyone is alive”, she said,
-
“and your brother has just come back from Switzerland”.
-
Then she ran to my parents’ home to give them the good news.

Latterie Cooperative Riunite (the United Dairy Cooperative). I’ve worked there for thirty-six years.
