The difficult experience of raising a father after the war
Novice Father The year was 1947. After World War II, many children were left orphaned—children of Jews and Germans, or born to girls who had been abused by German soldiers. There were over 300 orphans, and newspapers ran notices urging people to adopt them. Sadyk Leal adopted a three-year-old girl, determined to change her future and give her a better life.
A war hero, he had fought against the Germans for three years during World War II; he lost the little finger on one hand and bore scars on his chest and back. Tall, fair-skinned, and physically strong from his wartime service, he had dark eyes and short, dark hair. After the war, he retired; his pay was meager, yet it covered his needs. He adopted Mily when she was three; he bathed her, fed her with the little he had, doted on her, and loved her—he would do anything for his little girl. He gave her whatever she wanted, despite his limited means. He is very loving with his little one.
Year passed, and Guest was now four—nearly five—years old. She loved exploring, drawing, and having stories read to her. Sadyk worked all day at a factory and returned in the evening; some days he worked overtime to earn extra money, and he was very nervous because Guest was about to start school. One afternoon, after Sadyk returned from the factory, Mily was outside playing ball in the mud with a young neighbor girl.
