My tears are dripping off my chin right now. Your Opa and my grandmother sound like they suffer similar days. My grandma was always so happy, loving, kind...always wanted to know what she could get or do to help you feel more comfortable. Now, she's still loving, kind (mostly), but not very happy. She can't remember where she puts things, if she ever had them. She can't remember when anyone came to visit (she thinks we never come visit, though the calander on the wall that everyone signs says differently). Knowing what she used to be breaks my heart to see what she is today. I'm so sorry your Opa is suffering so. I pray comfort and strength for not only Oma, Opa, and for you and your family. Blessings my dear friend- Andie

I'm so thankful we could go, and I had such a good time visiting you! :)
ReplyDeleteRebecca what beautiful moments you have captured with your Oma and Opa.
ReplyDeleteI still have treasured memories of my Omas and Opas (both sides were Dutch), but unfortunately they went to be with Jesus before I even had children.
It is so special that your children have been able to spend time with them and get to know them.
