Easter Sunday was a beautiful, if chilly day this year. I love the feast of Easter. It brings so much hope, especially at a time of so much insecurity and difficulty in this country and many others. It is the centre of our faith. We went to the children's service at our little local church, which was beautiful. Then, my dearest friend Heather and her husband Rich invited us over for an Easter lunch. Heather's friendship and love for me have meant so much to both myself and the children over these past two years. I feel that they are almost family. Not to mention that she has two boys of 7 and 4 that Brian adores. She also has a beautiful baby girl who has just turned one.
Being there was like being at home. We have such a comfortable friendship and Heather and myself relate on so many levels, including the fact that we are both extremely emotional people. I treasure their friendship in my life. It was a wonderful day overall.
The children, of course, looked forward to their Easter baskets from the Bunny himself and hunted for eggs in the garden. I hid more eggs in the basement at Heather's house and that kept them all very busy for at least 45 minutes. Plenty of chocolate being eaten, coupled with three little boys, meant that there was plenty of energy being expended! I really missed my own family today, but am so glad to have such great friends.
