My son Jaden went out to visit HIS Oma (Shenna, Emma's oldest daughter) and Grandpa at the end of September this year. While there, he visited with "Oma Emma and Opa Ted", as he calls them! Here are some pictures of him with Emma while there.
When we knew we would be coming out to "say goodbye" to Oma Emma that first weekend in October I asked Jaden if he remembered who Oma Emma was. He looked at me very seriously and stated, as he swirled his fingers above his head, "yeah, she has white curly hair." I then asked if there was anything else he remembered about her. He paused for a bit and then got bright eyed and said "she has gray pajamas." I believe that she was wearing those "gray pajamas" one of the days that weekend we came.
I also felt so blessed to be able to say goodbye to Oma while she was still slightly responsive. As we walked into the room on Friday October 2nd, she pointed to Jaden and said "he was just here." She remembered him. I know that he remembers you Oma. We love you so much!
