My Oma. This woman was one of the most thoughtful people I have ever known. She would call for no reason just to see how you were. In the summer, when I was little, she would have each of us kids over for three days each, just her and you. We would eat blueberry muffins and submarine sandwiches. She always had a helpful cooking hint for something, as that was one of her favorite things to do. Always use ground chuck for meatballs, she would say.
My Oma never remarried after my Opa passed away in 1972. She would say she didn't want anyone else's dirty socks to wash:) But I also believe she loved him dearly, and didn't want to be with anyone else. She raised my mom and uncle on her own after that, both of whom have gone on to have wonderful and successful marriages. An example of devotion plays a part in that, I'm sure.
My Oma is a constant inspiration, even though she is no longer with us. I miss her every day, and hope that she is proud.
