We've been slowly working on purging, and about a month ago started going through pictures. I found this one of my favorite Bauer, Marie, holding my son. She died not too long after this photo, so I really appreciate that she got to meet him at least a little bit before going to her eternal reward.
The Bauers were actually friends of my parents, four sisters and a brother who lived together and never married. They belonged to the parish my dad joined when he moved to Omaha, and my mother met and then joined the Catholic Church there. They babysat us growing up and served as godparents and surrogate grandparents for us. Their love and dignity was astounding.
