Missing Oma

Well Millie is having such a rough time with Oma and Opa being gone. Last night she just poured her heart out and cried and cried about how much she missed her "Oma".

Millie: "My favorite thing about Oma is the way that she always snugs us on her lap, she is so good to cuddle with! I also miss how nice she visits and always sits in her rocking chair to talk, and she make the best gingiesnap cookies. I wish she was here... I want some of her homeade bread cause she makes the best bread.. and even CRUST."

Jen: "And what do you miss about Opa?"

Millie: "Well I always remember that he can never find me when I hide under the bed!"

So cute... It has really been alot harder on her than imagined. Oaksana was wondering why Millie had been crying so much so I told her all of that, she said.. "Maybe Millie is just thinking that Oma might die soon and it is making her real sad... but she doesn't need to cry..."
They are so innocent but still know so much. *sigh* Can't protect them forever, I guess!

They definitely love their Opa and Oma. We have them too. There is something very special about grandparents. I am having a hard time with protecting them. I think I have been trying to shelter Vayda too much, but I think that they are only young once and I want them to stay young. I am finding it even harder since Vayda has started school. Anyways, hope you are doing good, John should be driving through your town today. They finished the shutdown last night. Have a good day.

Will you guys come and visit? You know, they live REALLY close to us now...

I know how special Oma and Opa are to your girls, and I hope my girls get to spenda lot more time with them. They know that they are Oma and Opa but they still think of them as living far, far away. We'll have to work on that.
