Looking back it must seem surreal that it was part of your retail job to search for bombs at the ends of your shift. I’m glad you were safe through all that!
As a child growing up we have no other perspective than what life is like at the time - so whatever our circumstances are, that’s our normal.

To me, it highlights the importance of perspective. When your mom became upset because your normal was to be searched for bombs - she had a different perspective because she grew up in a different time. She knew it wasn’t normal. I’m glad things are more peaceful than they used to be.
