Where Are You Spring?!!
People come into our lives and then leave us way too soon, it seems. I thought I had finally gotten to a point where I could except my maw-maw's death. I guess I was wrong. The whole thing was just too tragic. There was a gass leak in her house and it exploded. It happened almost two years ago. It still seems like yesterday. I was finally dealing with it pretty well, I thought. Easter was so incredibily hard for me. Easter was my favorite holiday at Maw-maw's. I come from a really big family and every Easter we would go over to Maw-maw's for the day. All of the adults would go out in the front yard after lunch and hide eggs for us kids. I haden't hunted eggs in years but I loved sitting on that big front porch and watching all the other kids, a new one or two added every year or so. I can still hear their laughter and all the excitement that came with finding an Easter egg. I love Spring. It don't seem to be coming fast enough for me this year. We've had a couple of really nice days lately, but now it's gotten cold again. It was cold Easter Sunday. I hated it. My family spends Easter Sunday at the church where my grandparents attended, in the fellowship hall. I hate it. We go there for Thanksgiving too. That don't bother me so much. Well, I have to cut this short, I have the kids today and they need me right now.
