Every year, usually from September to November happens a flood in Vitoria do Mearim, a small city on the state of Maranhao, northeast in Brasil. My grandparents living there and every year they need to move to our family`s farm because of the flood, then they have to move all the furniture, driving to another place that is a little bit far from their house. In generally these months are the raining moths of the state, so raining a lot and the moving makes difficult, but they have leave their house, first of all they are a old couple and everyone in our family is worried about them and helped them during the moving, it`s something painful for everybody, it`s a sad time, specially to my grandmother, she loves her house, stuff and her yard as well, but all the time we talking with her, trying to show that this is the best decision.
When the flood time stops, started the time to come back to home, before we go to the house and making all the necessary repairs, like paint the walls, change something on the energy and cleaning the messy, the water destroy almost everything, after that, we make the move and put everything in the original place. The sad part when everything done, is see my grandmother going to her yard and crying because the water destroyed all her beautiful flowers (she really loves her plants), we talked to her, gave some advices, helped her to plant everything again, trying to make she fells better. How this changing is so painful for us we took a decision and now we building a house for them in the farm, I think in the end of this year it`ll be already and then we will make everyone happy without this crazy every year move!
