She died five years ago Valentine's Day. And, while we were never close, there will always be a part of me attributed directly to her. She was the steadfast German...stubborn, hardworking and - even witty. She was the matriarch of the family, most times driving us crazy (and, through that, providing us many smiles and laughs over the years). She had an iron will and a silken hand. She was deeply rooted in her faith and easily voiced her opinion (which was often in direct conflict with mine). But, she was the mother of three, grandmother of eight, great-grandmother of 5 and she was ours.
Today marks the date of her birth 102 years ago. Happy Birthday Grandma and thanks for everything.
