I think I should tell you about the brave people in the kampong behind our house. It is true, I believe, that my family and I would certainly be dead if not for their courage. There is a very rough trail through the jungle of jack fruit trees, banana trees, and those star fruit trees.
We follow this trail behind the huts, through the forest, to church. All the people in the kampong live in little huts made from bamboo poles and bamboo mats are used for walls. The people are very poor. But like I said they are very brave and kind to us. I pray they will make it through this war alive.

They let us hide behind their huts. The Japanese soldiers never find us and the villagers never tell them that we are there. Maybe the jungle looks too scary for the soldiers. In any case our hike through the forest is always a safe one even though I can still hear the bombs falling in the distant.
I thank the Lord Jesus for all the nice people that make our lives quite livable. Soon I will tell you of a few individuals who risk their lives to save ours. For now, it is safer that I don't talk about them yet.

This life story is bringing the war to life for me...
Thank you for your kind comments on my blog. I cherish my readers and do find them a blessing!
These stories of your mother's experiences make me realize how fortunate I am to live in a country where we don't have to worry about bombs falling on our houses and we can attend church without fear. My heart especially goes out the the children of the world who live in war zones, how can they possibly understand what is going on?
I think it's kind of cool that the brave people who helped your mom's family can be honored through your mom's memoirs. May they never be forgotton, and may we learn from them!
It was on the newspaper when he saw the watch again. How time flies! 50 years had passed since he saw it the last time. He never stopped finding it during the 50 years. He was too old to remember too many things. However, everything about her was still engraved in his mind and never disappeared.[url=http://www.good4shopper.com/chopard-watches.html]replica chopard watches[/url] [url=http://www.watcheshall.com]replica watches[/url] [url=http://www.sunglassescool.com/salvatore-ferragamo-sunglasses.html]Mens Salvatore Ferragamo Sunglasses[/url] Rolex watches are amazing.
