And as it has been going on that - actually I know only because, as I am but then had been a little older. What has remained in my memory is when she brought my mom to the hospital. The mother was pregnant and had a kidney problem. And then it was called, they must be hospitalized. And since we already had but five children. And then we have all been divided, with relatives and friends. And the mother is then stayed longer in hospital. And when the mother - which they then have to so a stretcher because there `s so has really been nothing else - a sack of straw because they have draufgebunden in two such wood thing. And they have draufgebunden and as they have placed on it the mother, and then they said to us children, we all stood around them and have been crying, then she has to give us his blessing and said: "Children, pray for Mama that she comes home again. " And so we are just then came apart. Then the school started. I should have .. I came in the first class. And then I hold no right clothes and shoes had no right. And then I have always thought, "If Mama would grad there, then I'd 'just an ordinary dress, and maybe shoes." That was really a memory I can never forget. And then later been ten years - then I'm ten years old, then the mother said: "Children need someone to help my uncle." That was a farmer. And then I decided, because my older sister has looked pretty good to the children, and I prefer to make other work. And then I decided, yes, I go - I go to him. And there it was but incredibly tough because I have got to get up at five in the morning. Then I have to help in the barn for half an hour then I have to walk to school. And then when I'm coming home in the afternoon, I have to help in the house and then in the house, wash dishes just to help and such. And then I've only been able to do the job. And since then I am asleep sometimes. And then the maid, the maid, the maid bigger - I was the little maid. And then once that has been crying in the room above. And then I said: "Anna, why are you crying?" Then she said: "Because I am so sorry you're doing." Did she say yes.
