Our family Easter was different this year, as it was for a lot of people. My family, including Mom and Dad, siblings and their families, usually get together for Easter dinner. It’s a day of food, hiding and finding baskets, conversation, laughter, and games.

Because of the unknown and the fear of spreading a virus…I wonder if once this is all over, we’ll be less fearful or more?… We didn’t have our big family gathering.

We did, however, manage to get a good share of our family on a Zoom conference to see and hear each other. It pales in comparison to the real thing, but it still made me smile to hear the voices of the littles and the laughter of the bigs.

We don’t have to like the hand we are dealt, but how we play it out, is up to us.

Happy Easter, friends.

Your friend,
