EASTER MEMORIES~

Easter...
Easter fills us with hope and warmth, it is a time to gather with family and friends. A time to recall memories from long ago. A new Easter dress, white patten leather shoes, cotton white gloves and a pink bow neatly tied in golden hair...
A handful of chocolate eggs tucked safely in the pocket of a wool purple coat...A chilly morning walk along an old dirt road....an island church brightly adorned with lilies, tulips and daises all brought in memory of loved ones who have gone on before us...a mother's hand, a child size plant, skinned knees...jellybeans... a new stuffed animal...a younger brother eating my chocolate rabbit...grandparents, newly arrived off the ten o'clock boat...a mother now adorned in her apron...wonderful aromas fill this old Island home...a home filled with love and happiness....memories...tucked safely in my heart...

All so sweet and what a beautiful way to describe "home," That is what speaks to me, it is nice to know that it all lives there in your heart.

Reading your post brings back my own special memories of Easter as a little girl. We always got a corsage to wear to Easter Mass. Have a wonderful Easter.
