I remember the day before the evacuation, my family had slept at my grandparent's house in Chalmette. We were actually considering staying, but decided to evacuate to Houston. Most of us thought we would be back in a couple of days and everything would be fine. For this reason, my grandparent's left most of their family memorabalia. However, I decided to take some sheet music that my grandmother played when she was a child. She grew up playing piano with this music and she taught me from it. It is one of the few things my granparent's had left from their house. My grandma was happy to have something from her childhood not destroyed my the storm.
