"My sister married first in February, then Richie married in April, and me in October," Sonny said. "The three of us in one go, we were the three stooges," Richie joked. While Richie's second return to Malta went well, Sonny re- mained in Australia. The dis- tance created a long absence between them. "When Richie came down the second time to Malta, I missed him terribly," Sonny said. "My brother and I were always together. Wherev- er we went, to football, church; everywhere together." A pivotal moment came when Richie, then 21, received a letter calling him up for the Vietnam War. He was working the after- noon shift when the foreman handed him the letter. "I didn't even open it," he said. "I took it to my father and woke him up. He read it and said, 'You've been called to go to Vietnam. Tomorrow, you have to go downtown for an exam.' He immediately said, 'I'll send you back to Malta.' "And that was it." Sonny had a similar experience a year earlier but was ultimately rejected because his birthdate didn't fall within the required range. "They called me exactly when I turned 21 because we were British subjects," Richie said. One of the most emotional moments of their reunion came when they spoke about their father. Sonny recalled the last conversation he had with him. "It was about lunchtime on a Saturday. I called my sister, and she said, 'Dad is here'. I spoke with him, and he told me he'd be coming to see me in Melbourne in another two weeks." His father mentioned he'd gone to the market that morning and bought lampuki fish. Sonny jokingly asked if he could send him a piece. A few days later, Sonny re- ceived a phone call saying his fa- ther had passed away. He rushed back for the funeral. "When I was leaving to go back to Mel- bourne, my mother said, 'There is some of the fish in the fridge that he didn't eat before he died. I'm going to put it in a jar for you to take to Melbourne.' I could not believe it—I had just asked if he could send me a piece of fish, and then I had to have that fish." Sonny said it took him years to process the loss. Richie nodded in agreement: "I can't believe that we lost him. We never saw any harm from him." As they reminisced about the past and reflected on the pres- ent, both brothers acknowledged how much Malta has changed. Sonny said he never expected to return, but his daughter encour- aged the visit. He even travelled to Siġġiewi, where his late wife had lived, for the first time. Now, looking back on their paths, the brothers found com- fort in being together again, de- spite the decades that passed. "I wish when I was young it was like this," Sonny said. "Because if you wanted to work in those days, you had to work hard. But today, the young ones in Malta have very good opportunities." Richie pointed out that today's generation has far more access to education and work, includ- ing in other EU countries. "Be- fore, if you wanted to work, you had to leave," Sonny said. "Now they can stay, study, and travel. If they go abroad, they can come back within an hour." With a career waiting for most graduates even before they fin- ish their studies, the brothers agreed—there's no need to chase life overseas anymore. "We had no choice," Richie said. "But today's youth do. And they should stay." The two men who had been forced apart as young brothers sat together in the Malta they once grew up in, reflecting on their memories as they took in all the time they had together.
