Memorial Day

For Memorial Day we went with my family to visit my dear oma and opa's graves, as well as my great grandma, too (Oma-oma). It's been 10 years but I sure miss oma and opa. I still remember coming home from school the day my oma died. My mom said, "My mommy's gone." And she cried and cried in my arms. Then my opa lived with us for awhile after that, and he had Alzheimer's. So he'd often ask us, "Where is meine Frau?" It broke my heart every time. It wasn't fun telling him over and over that she had passed away and was in heaven. I miss both of them so much. They were so special to me and I loved them so much.

We also visited Nate's grandparents' graves. Nate's grandma died in 2007 and his grandpa died last year. I loved them so much, too. They were a perfect example of love. I'm glad they're together now.

Anyway, here's some pictures. It was a good weekend.
