COMMISSIONER
Their depression lifted to some extent when, several months later, we received a secret note from my brother.  It was brought by a friend who had visited Swaziland.  My brother wanted us to meet him in a secret venue in Swaziland.  My parents could not contain their excitement.  Despite our financial predicament my parents bought various items of clothing for him.  They prepared excellent food dishes to take to him.  The secret venue that we met was on the side of the road.  I think it was near a hotel in Swaziland.  But we had to wait for darkness before he arrived.  He was too scared to meet us during the day, and he never showed us where he lived in Swaziland.  In fact he stayed with us for those few days at the Timbali Caravan Park, which is a holiday resort in Swaziland.  When he jumped off the car my parents ran towards him and hugged him, shedding tears of joy at this temporary reunion.  The few days we spent in Swaziland were the happiest days of my parents' lives.
