Child sees flooded home for the first time.

This is Asher, he's my son. We had to evacuate due to Hurricane Irma approaching. A day after the storm settled, we went to check on our home. I am a single mother & have worked my whole life to buy a home for my son. The bad part is, we just moved in less than 3 months prior. When I saw him standing like this, I could see the bewilderment on his face. Broke my heart.
