My father grew up poor in Ahwaz, Iran. His parents died at an early age, brought down by maladies readily cured today.
This quote made me think of all the short stories we have read. Especially "The Photograph." It also made me realize that most people that lived in Iran or Cambodia, or the middle east lost their parents young.
Now he was able to squeeze onto the sofa with the rest of us and catch up.
I don't really understand what the author was trying to say through this sentence.
