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.
1:30:01
I knew that since the whoIe viIIage...
1:30:04
...aIso knew they were coming,
they wouId aII be at the station...
1:30:07
...and my schooI friends wouId see me...
1:30:11
...and my brother and sister,
meeting our parents...
1:30:14
...for the first time in five years.
1:30:20
It was a tremendous ordeaI.
1:30:22
We went down to the station to wait.
1:30:25
And I couIdn´t cope with it.
1:30:27
So I went back...
1:30:30
...home and I said:
1:30:31
"´I´m going home.
I´m going to put the kettIe on.
1:30:34
"´They´II need a cup of tea."´
How EngIish can you get?
1:30:38
l waited and waited and waited.
1:30:41
They took ages.
1:30:43
SuddenIy, there´s my brother and sister...
1:30:46
...with this middIe-aged, eIderIy coupIe...
1:30:49
...with suitcases and bags,
coming up the path.
1:30:53
I remember rushing down to meet them.
1:30:58
l knew they were my parents...
