After raising three children, my husband and I are celebrating our first Easter alone. Although we are with our closest friends, my precious angels, the essence of my being, are each celebrating on their own.
I wonder, are they really celebrating because the Lord is Risen today? Or what kind of a celebration are they having? I really hope that as young adults, they will continue to walk the straight and narrow path.
I know my son and his wife are planning an egg hunt for their boys and I am looking forward to that video call. I pray, however, that he finds it in his heart to impart either by practice or by knowledge, the relevance of this fun activity to his children.
Not quite sure what my middle child would do. Maybe she’ll sleep in and then with her friends, go to Easter brunch? Well, I have come to the point of not asking what she does nor where she goes. I trust her, I always have, so today I pray that she continues to seek our Lord’s guidance in all her endeavors, since she no longer asks me.
My sweet little baby is definitely going to Easter Mass, maybe not in the morning but she is going! In fact, she checks up on us to make sure that on Holy Days of Obligation we abide.
My unexpected baby, but our cherry on top, is really living it up to my monicker for her.
My heart is full and my stomach flutters just thinking about them and the life they now have. I thank God that they have turned out well. I continue to ask for guidance and strength so that I may see the day when my new cherry on top, my grandson, comes to telling me what Easter is about. I hope he says, “Wowa, the Lord is Risen today, Alleluia!”
