Easter has always been such a big deal at my parents house. Meet at church and then lunch, following with a hugh egg hunt. Every one would joined in, looking for that special egg with money or a note with directions to search deeper for a surprise.
Well, today at my moms house, there were no dinner or egg hunts. No one was in the mood. Dad was not here to be with us (he died 9-27-04), such a lonely day.
Mom surprised me with Dad's wallet. I tried to fight back the tears, but couldn't. It still was the same the last time he carried it, money, driver license, SS card and pictures of the kids/ grandkids. In the middle of some pictures were 2 pictures of mom back in 1948 (a foxy babe she was). Its strange how these small things can be so dear to our hearts.
I didn't mean to depress any one, but if your parents are living, take the time right now and give them a call. You could be the same as me, wishing I had one more day with my daddy.
God bless you .....
