Avó
Proudly, I introduce to you my nearly 100 year old grandmother with the necklace that is not for sale :)
Grandmother, where were you born?" - "Victoria, Na Rossa (Farm) ."
Brasiu
"Where was grandfather born?" - "In Helvetia, Bahia. Do you know that Helvetia is also the old word used to refer to Switzerland?
Federation Helvetia."
"No, but I have a daughter who lives there."
"Yes, I know, that's my mother."
"Ah, you're my granddaughter."
"Yes, exactly, we laugh."
"Interesting how dementia in the short-term memory doesn't retain so much for her, but everything from earlier seems so vivid to her."
"When did you start working?" - "At 12 years old on coffee plantations, manioc, and much more." - "At 12 years old, I was at a Waldorf school, a private school where we children also learned to plant things in the garden."
"Between these realities lie worlds: at 16/18, married, 8 children, a whole military dictatorship, democracy, women's suffrage, class and race struggle.
Orgulhosamente, apresento-lhes minha avó de quase 100 anos com o colar.
