L57-2: Back in theold country

He always meant togo back one day, but not to stay. His roots and mine had become too firmlyembedded in the new land. But he wanted to see the old folk again and to visitmy mother's grave. He became mortally ill a few months before we had planned togo and, when he knew that he was dying, he made me promise to go on my own. Ihired a car the day after landing and bought a comprehensive book of maps,which I found most helpful on the cross-country journey, but which I did notthink I should need on the last stage. It was not that I actually rememberedanything at all. But my father had described over and over again what we shouldsee at every milestone, after leaving the nearest town, so that I was positiveI should recognize it as familiar territory.
