my mom emailed me a photo of my oma, a couple months ago (my oma past away about a year ago). i had only met my oma twice and we couldn't really communicate, me speaking no german and her speaking very limited english. i hadn't known that she was in the military (as was i). but my oma was in the german army. she lived her whole life in germany and my mom was born and raised in german; she moved to the US when she got pregnant with me. this photo of my mom was from the early 80s, i think (my mom was probably around the same age in the photo as i am now).
so anyways, i thought it would be neet to scan the photo of my mom and put the photos of the three generations side by side. growing up, i always thought i looked like my mom but i actually think i'm a pretty good mix of my mom and dad.
the photo below, from our wedding five years ago, is the only photo i have of my dad.
p.s. thanks shawn for taking the photo of me :-)

In the shot of you Oma, you hve her eyes. Your mom , well, you have her mouth. Is that right? so sweet.....
Oh wow Debbie, I haven't looked at your page in a while, and I didn't expect to see Oma! :( It's so sad that we never got to know her. It's so nice to see a picture of her when she was young! I want to do a generation picture like that... Love you! Jessie
