I COME BACK

I COME BACK

My sisters were happy to see me when I came back. They said they thought they would not see me again. I was happy to be home, but I was still very sad that my parents were gone. At least we were able to buy some things we needed with the money I brought back.

So we continued. Our married sister would come and check up on us every now then and my other sister got married. I continued to work in the cornfields, cutting grass, goat herding and of course, always looking for wood to cook. We didn’t have gas or running water and cooking was done on an open fire. We didn’t even have electricity, although my sister tells me that it is different now.
