My grandmother's village **After thirty years, I return to the village where my grandmother was born. Emotions are pouring in, I feel like I've always lived here. In an abandoned village I found four old women, the only inhabitants. The houses were dilapidated and demolished. And they were all built of earthen bricks**

**I couldn't get to my grandmother's house, they say it has grown into a bush and it can't be reached.** **I walked through the village and remembered my childhood, when I came to my grandmother on vacation.** **I found an orchard where we played as a kid, someone mowed it at least I was happy about it.**

**I met an old woman who told me that my grandmother often sat in a bench waiting for us to come.** **I was saddened by her story and I went home with sadness in my heart. I went to take a picture of my grandmother's bench**

**I leave the village with a set in my soul and remorse for not coming earlier and warming the old woman's heart**

**Today's children don't even know about the village, they spend their free time playing video games**
