This picture is from her 99th birthday party. Hopefully I can get another one today when we go visit to celebrate with Oma.
It is almost mind-boggling to think that she has been alive for 100 years. To look at her fingers, to think of her heart that has been beating for 100 years. And what a testament to God's faithfulness to her, and also to Opa and all our family. Oma has often that "The Lord is good" and expresses her great desire that her children and grand-children and great-grand-children be able to testify the same.
We're looking forward to seeing Oma tonight, as well as my extended family. Most of Oma's family lives close enough to visit her, but a few will not be able to come, as they live out of province or out of country.
It is our prayer that God will continue to be with Oma, to sustain her through each day, for however many days He has yet for her. We love you Oma!
