I just read the article and obit, and then read again the story about your Opa and the eulogy that you posted in June 2018. Now 8 months later, Oma has joined Opa in the Great Oneness that is the invisible web of connections and spirit that we all are part of. You are so blessed and lucky to have grown up with such inspiring people. I am sad for your grief and pain of loss, such loss. My biggest fear about creating loving connections is that they will end. I have to keep telling myself that we never really get over anything, but we do learn to carry it more gently -- and be grateful, while we are enjoying our loving connections, and later, grateful that we were capable of this great love we had. xxxooolil
Thank you, lil. I was telling steve via text that I feel this overwhelming mix of sadness and gratitude all at once. I am so grateful. She was truly remarkable. I learned a lot about strength and love from both from my Oma Opa. They were constantly giving both to those without it. My Oma’s work with children is something truly beautiful. She had a gift. Much love to you, my dear friend. Oma would have adored you.
