1:28:03
...suddenIy I was
in an environment where...
1:28:06
...I was the same as everyone eIse.
1:28:09
For the first time in my life, l think.
1:28:13
Because l think in Lincoln, l more or less...
1:28:16
...think, l existed.
1:28:18
Because I was waiting for tomorrow,
and tomorrow, and tomorrow.
1:28:24
l had lots of friends and...
1:28:26
...l did things l hadn´t done before.
1:28:29
l felt like everybody else.
1:28:32
The people on my left, the people
on my right, we were all the same...
1:28:39
...and that, I think,
was the first time in my Iife...
1:28:43
...I feIt that I couId do everything...
1:28:46
...the other peopIe were doing.
1:28:51
l wanted to do something
to help finish the war.
1:28:54
l said, ´´l want to go into nursing. ´´
1:28:56
The first year, l nearly gave up.
1:28:59
l found it very difficult...
1:29:01
...but I was determined to do it.
1:29:04
The second year was better.
1:29:07
Then it grew on me.
1:29:09
We were so busy, I didn´t have time
to think of myseIf, anyhow.
1:29:20
After about two years
of not hearing from our parents...
1:29:23
...life sort of stretched on endlessly,
but suddenly we heard...
1:29:27
...that our parents...
1:29:29
...had reached Spain.
1:29:31
Every night since I Ieft my parents,
I had prayed:
1:29:35
"´PIease, God,
don´t Iet it take Ionger than five years."´
1:29:40
Five years almost to the day...
1:29:43
...we got the telegram.
1:29:45
The telegram said:
1:29:46
´´Arriving Friday, 4:45. ´´
1:29:50
That was all.
1:29:52
UnfortunateIy, 4:45 was the train...
1:29:57
...that my schooI friends
were coming back on, as weII.
