I have avoided that it is Easter, or did it happen too soon?
I remember as a child how wonderful the Celebration of Easter is. The great new dress, white patent leather shoes, socks with lace, even nylons as I got older. They dying of the eggs, making pickled eggs with mom, baking, house cleaning and getting the Lilies down to the Church in memory of those gone,
Everything was surreal at Church, the beauty, peace, happiness. I remember all the older women with their hats, and the traditional songs.
Singing on top of my lungs the harmony to He Arose, my Mom's voice carrying across the church and even outside. Holding my quarter to put in the change plate in fine white gloves.
Easter dinner smelled soooo good, my polish grandma had home made horseradish, Mom and she would make home made Kielbasa, the egg knot bread, and poppy seed. walnut rolls. The house is sparkling, smelling of fresh Pine sol and lemon pledge.
Today, I can barely make it a memorable day for my family. The past haunts me the hurt or loss of family.
There are no new dresses, no nylons, or shoes. One small holiday basket and we are alive.
All we have is each other.
All I wanted was to have my family heal, and protect them.
Pray to protect us from the Evil........
