Dear student

In the following lines, the narrator talks about the missing items
from her house, saying that she only noticed the objects when they
had been taken away In a metaphorical sense, the narrator was
actually talking about her own mother She took the presence of her
mother for granted when she was still alive She felt the absence of
her mother dearly, only after she had been taken away from the
narrator, in the form of her death during the war
