Thank you Kerstin! What a lovely means of connection. I remember my German grandmother and family faintly as my mother and father were separated from my birth. While I got to know my fathers family, it wasn't until later in life that I realized how much they meant to me. I can still hear my grandmother calling out to me Brrrrrucie! She would roll those R's and it was music to my ears.
Thank you for the reminder!
