Oma's Online Kitchen Table

This is a place for people to share their feelings, thoughts, stories, & memories of Oma - Shirley Enbar. Oma passed away on October 13th, 2004, leaving a void in all who knew her. Since Oma was about getting, and keeping in touch, Oma's is a place to keep her memory alive, and to share a virtual cup of coffee with Oma whenever we feel the need to.

Are You in There?

Seeing Oma in the morgue with her eyes closed, I was reminded of a story Oma told about my early childhood:
One morning, while Oma was still sleeping, I came up to her, lifted one of her eyelids and asked her: "Are you in there?"
Looking at Oma's body, I knew, with a sad finality, that, no, Oma wasn't in there any more.
