~*Happy Easter*~

~*Happy Easter*~

This morning my amazing husband took the Easter baskets I put together from the closet and set them out for the boys to find when they woke up. He than hid a dozen colored eggs, so it remained an innocent childhood memory for them. So, as they sat waiting for the return of a man they admire and look up to... they looked around from the comfort of the couch. Many were spotted without them ever moving from a seated position, as they patiently waited for daddy to get home.

We both play very active roles in our children's lives, so I couldn't imagine upsetting their father by depriving him of the chance to witness every aspect of their lives. I don't know what is more rewarding, seeing my husband's face light up as he observes his children, or watching them try and find those eggs as if they were solving a puzzle.

I received a pleasant surprise this morning as my eldest son handed me a box of chocolates. As parents we "give" so much to our children from birth and beyond. I don't expect to suddenly "be done" just because my child becomes of legal age (few months away). I imagine many years to come surrounded by grandchildren, daughter-in-laws, and hoping that any mistakes we encounter are not so horrendous that we either cannot learn from them or fix them.

May the resurrection of this time of year be not just that of "faith" but as a symbol of the actual lives we are living... and as evolution happens from mental, emotional, physical, and so forth.
