They were a cute elderly couple with Dutch accents, my Oma had a series of falls and surgeries, but it never dampened her spirit's or Opa's. I remember how she'd bake a whole series of cakes, meringue cookies and boeterkoek, and how she'd struggle with a huge turkey dinner for a very large family.

HE!!!!!! I was reading this post already feeling sad after reading the first half...and now I've finished I'm holding back tears...

You are right if they loved each other that much passing on together is a great comfort. I'm sorry to hear this hun I hope you are not feeling guilty that you didn't visited them on mother's day. I don't think your Opa and Oma would want that.

Lot of hugs and kisses and please don't let your tears in! Cry as much as you need and don't think it's a phase. Every future experience might become a painful memory. You will miss them every year during birthdays, holidays and so on.
So it's best for you to cry when you need to and cuddle your loved ones as much as possible. Just think of them going on a long holiday and someday you'll meet again.

Ik wens je veel sterkte en liefde in deze moeilijke tijd ( wish you lots of strength and love in this difficult time ).

Lots of hugs!!

Mali

ps; I hope my avater cheers you up just a little!

*lots of hugs* That was such a great story for them, lots of great memories. :)

When my grandma's died I was in different ends of Canada, and didn't have the money to fly back to their funerals. My mom told me to remember the last times I was with them, and know they're watching over me. and I know I'll see them again someday. ^__^
