Many things can bring a family together. A marriage... a birth... a holiday. This past Saturday, a death brought my family together. My grandmother's time on this earth had helped bring together the most beautiful and exciting people I know, and she is leaving us to do the same. I won't forget her unwavering strength, or the love she gave unconditionally to her family. She has set an example for me, the only grand daughter, of focus, determination, compassion and zeal. I love my Oma very much, and hope she is with Opa again at last.
