My Oma

This is my oma.
Oma = Grandmother in German.
About 6 or 7 years ago she lost all of her eyesight due to her diabetes. She spent her life taking care of my grandfather and his illnesses and never really took care of her own health. Shortly after his passing we found she was losing her eyesight. It was a rapid progression and a terribly sad one to witness. 
Losing her eyesight, however, has not slowed her down one bit. She moves around the house and yard extremely well. She is a strong woman and I love her with all of my heart.

These images were purposely shot sharp. I love the look of it and you can see the years of her life in her face. Something to be proud of for sure.
