When I was very Young I can remember a lot of things.

The first thing I remember is, when I was only 2 years old in 1945. Someone was holding me in their arms outside my father's shop. I looked up at the church tower because I heard the bells ringing. It was 1945 and the bells were ringing because the allies had just won the war.

When I was 4 years old, I still remember I was standing at the foot of the stairs leading to our house when the nurse came down to tell me that my mother had just had my brother Hector.

I was very young maybe 5 years old. I was at the back of my father's store. I found an apple, placed in my left hand found a BIG knife, sliced the apply and my hand with it.

I was about 6 years old. We were having dinner. My father was eating peaches. He dropped a piece and my mother tried to retrieve it by a knife, but instead of putting the knife in the peach she plunged the knife in my father's foot.

Me and my sister were very young. We found our younger brother covered in green paint. We ran to my mother who was buying meat at the butcher next door to tell her.

Me and my cousin Paul went to get our cousin Victor. We found him screeming to his his father to stop beating him up. So we left quietly.

I was about 20. My Father asked me to drive him to the city. I had agreed to go to the seaside with my friend. So I said NO to my father who had bought me the car. To this day I regret this and I will give aything to be able to say to my father how sorry I am. But my father is dead now, and I will never see him again to say how sorry I am. But my friend Joe once told me: 'Don't worry, your father knows'.

I was 6 or 7 years old. I was playing in the village square, when suddenly I got confused and ran under a bus full of people. The passengers in the bus saw me and started screeming to the driver to stop. I still remember me getting up from under the bus and going to my father's shop. When my mother saw me she grabbed me in her arms and ran to the doctor with me. That day it was a miracle I was not killed. God saved me
