I am 35, lived in america 22 years. Born in Saarbrücken Germany. My Papa and Mutti 2, along with my uncle, aunts, cousins and Opa still live in Germany. I am still very close to my family overseas and have visited them often along with my 2 children. Due to a Disabling Disease I can no longer travel. Amen for skype. My mother and brothers, also German, live here. We moved here when my Mother married my Daddy, an american. I still speak, read and write German fluently with a couple of hick-ups. So I try to keep up with my Roots. This would be a great opportunity to do that and have a feeling of being somewhat worthy, since I can no longer work.
