I came back for my family
Ex-army soldier speaks of his experience on the war
I was born in Padiyathalawa. I was born 74, 11.9. Mum is Karunawathi and dad is HM Appuhami. My parents left me when I was 2 years old. They separated and each re-married, but I lived with my grandparents. They were uneducated and poor. I met my wife in Palathuruwella, which is where my father was from. Neither of us studied more than grade 6. We got married in 1996.
