My sweet little chicky eldest daughter, who her sister calls "the most beautiful person in the world" had an exceptionally happy Easter this year. She said, that other than her brother and niece not being with us to celebrate, everything about the whole weekend was perfect.
That included her basked or so she said.
This year, there was a chick theme. Lots of purple: her favorite color. Her favorite Spring candy: bunny corn and peeps. Some jewelry inside the fancy fill and thrill eggs. Another of the things she loves!
I was so happy to see her so happy. She has known a good deal of adversity in her life. Some of it has been fairly recent. Still, she bounces back, each time. She is resilient. And yes, she is beautiful, inside and out.
On Sunday, she received hugs and kisses 'til we could hardly get her out the door and headed toward her Aunt and Uncle's place on the lake for Easter lunch. At the lake, there were lots more of the people she loves and people who love her to hug and kiss and spend time with. Little wonder then that she pronounced the day as perfect.
At bedtime, we discussed the day and the weekend. We decided to watch "The Passion" which is something of an Easter tradition for us. She fell asleep before it was over. I watched it to its glorious end, peeking from time to time over at my beautiful daughter sleeping beside me. And yes, it was a pretty perfect Easter.
