What would he do without me? I was his sole support.” The quote expresses how he felt during his time in the camps with his father and how he felt so miserable to the point he wanted to end it all, but couldn’t because he wanted to support his father. This line could make someone feel sympathetic and heartbroken knowing that someone had to go through this much pain and maybe even thankful that their families are safe and that they’re able to support them.
