How could I forget Dad, how he was the most handsome person there, the others standing around and shouting, moving me, pulling me away from the circle of people so I wouldn’t see him, and how I crawled back in and looked. He was still the most handsome, even if they were alive and he was lying on the floor, dead.

That made me think of something else, about his six-year memorial, which they wouldn’t do now because of the Katyushas. And without asking anyone, I, Dudi, decided that if no one was going to have a memorial for him because they were afraid of the Katyushas, I’d do it for him! I was outside anyway, and shouldn’t have been wandering around. I might as well be at the cemetery if everyone else was in the shelter. As I made my way there, past the football pitch, I decided I’d make my vow there. It would be the place to promise Dad that I was never, ever going to steal again, never climb up the houses of strangers, break in through the windows. I’m only going to use doors from now on. All the way to the cemetery I said, ‘Dad’, the start of my vow, except I couldn’t get any further. Whenever I opened my mouth, only the word ‘Dad’ came out, ‘Dad, Dad’. All I could do was walk and say, ‘Dad, Dad’. I don’t know what came over me. ‘Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad.’ I just couldn’t stop.
