Today we spent a traditional Easter day with Mom and Dad. First an egg hunt, then a basket hunt, egg coloring, dinner, a walk, naps, kickball, and chocolate cake. At one point during the day, Mom read her journal entry from last Easter. It turns out that Easter 2011 was remarkably similar to Easter 2012. The most profound difference was that Dad ate two green salads, including the broccoli. And, Mom ate meat and potatoes. (When exactly did they pull this switcheroo?)
After Mom was diagnosed with cancer, I knew that life would never be the same. But, I didn't realize the ways in which things would remain. Our circumstances may be different. But, the love remains.
Happy Easter, Everyone.
