"Oma"

This October 15th would have been her 94th birthday. :-)

In 1998 she passed on... but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the conversations we might have today.  I always feel like a part of her lives in me.

The things I need not forget;  Her passion for fashion, the way she made pie, her clip-on earrings, the way she spoke dutch, her savvy independence, the way her sheets smelled like 4711 perfume.  So many things I need not forget and never will.

Even when someone passes on, there is more than a gravestone marking their memory.  The memories always remain in your heart.
