How lucky she was to have a granddaughter who had hope. “Let’s do that.” “We’ll be in California,” Anne said. “In a big house by the sea.” “Will we?” Oma laughed, delighted. “I’m bringing you with me,” Anne assured her grandmother. “I’m ready,” Oma said, kissing Anne good night. She could not love her granddaughter more.
