Cursed Bear!

We had the bear.

Incredible! It has made everyone from getting into the water.

What are you thinking?

What are you thinking, Father?

I'm thinking, you know, doing this will be difficult.

I do not know if it's okay.

It is different when the bear is close, we can take a picture with him closely.

But with a scenario that is not good.

We have a document of the bear, but we do not have a photo.

This is not right.

There's nothing behind.

Nothing to frame the photo, to beautify the landscape.

Not have stock, we have nothing.

Awesome!

The image I had in the end, are the teeth out,

They could not discern the shapes of heads, stunning.

Like we were in Dante's Inferno,

with all those teeth,

all these forms ... Incredible!

Father, talk to me a little of your 1979?

In 79, Llia was pregnant, expecting her second child.

It would be child already knew.

And when Rodrigo was born,

everything was going to be Down syndrome.

It was nice, torn eyes,

and I had the impression that it was completely normal.

And also Llia.

The doctor did many tests. Three weeks await your response.

The day I called the doctor

I felt such a strong tension,

when I saw the answer, I cried.

He could not stop mourn.

My little brother would never be able to go to school,

or read and write like me.

Rodrigo would be isolated in a world that we were never going to be able to share.

It was very difficult for my parents.

But then something happened.

Thanks to love, Rodrigo created his own language.

Slowly,

as a family, we learned to decipher their emotional alphabet

and communicate without words.

Poce later, my mother, my brother and I took a plane to Brazil.

The military dictatorship had fallen.

Topic five years and did not understand how important this trip was going to be.

At one point, a man climbed one of the blinds

and sunlight flooded the interior of the aircraft.

A voice echoed in the cabin:

"We are flying over Brazil."

My mother looked out the window and said nothing.

He was seeing his homeland for the first time after many years.

It was a moment of happiness, and yet, when I looked,

I was crying.

My father was in French Guiana and would come later.

December 31, returning to Brazil.

It was great to get to your country,

After 10 years, half out.

It was shocking. Lelia had left the Vitoria was not found.

Vitria urbanism had changed. Everything had changed.

My region had changed.

I met again with my parents. The I left young and strong.

On returning I found an old man. My father was very old.

But, at that time,

I wanted to see Brazil further.

My sister gave me a car

and I traveled for six months in the northeast of Brazil.
