anatomy of love

Liebe Opa, 

I miss you 

I have been thinking about you a lot today

sad amidst such joy about our new little Valentine...

thank you for helping me begin to learn

what it takes to love--

how hard it is, 

how much joy there is,

how much work it is

how worthwhile it is...

I will always think of Oma's favorite description,

eine goldene kugel mit kratzer...

hab dich so lieb!
