For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. When I got stationed to Germany back in 2007, I was excited to learn more about my heritage and quickly discovered not only were there Gramlings in Germany, there was a German “Stadt” (town) named Gramling. So once while traveling, I took a four-hour detour to visit. As I drove I could not help but imagine what I would find. As I saw the first sign stating that “GRAMLING” was just a few kilometers ahead, I slowed down and excitedly kept my eyes peeled for what I assumed would be a thriving community complete with a Gramling Bakery and a Gramling Hofbrauhouse. Know what happened? I blinked and I MISSED IT! That’s right, the “town” of Gramling, is a small handful of houses and barns in the middle of nowhere, next to nothing. Undeterred, I walked into the nearest restaurant I could find and I approached a few Germans around a table and proudly announced, “Ich bin ein Gramling!”(I am a Gramling!) in my broken German. They looked at me over their drinks, shrugged their shoulders and ignored me! So much for thinking I was famous or important!
