During the war, did you lose someone, a friend, a family member?

yes, yes. I lost my father. I remember we... we were on a hammock, my brother, my sister,
and dad. My mother and my two sisters with her. They went to the river for water and
then all of a sudden the army shows up and they accused him of being a communist. They
took him, tied him up, and they hit him. Hard, with the butt of the gun and they trapped
us in our own home. From a little hole in the wall we were able to see when they took
him. They took him on 1980 and from then on we never saw him again. He disappeared.
You were only 6 years old. Almost 6
Almost 6? Yes and... later on we heard that yes, they
had killed him and we never saw him again. Very sad.
Were you close with your father during the time you spent with him?
Yes. Yes?
Yes, always.
