Maria sat in a high chair with us at her FIRST Easter family dinner on Sunday!
There she is, surrounded by her Daddy and Mommy and Great Uncle Walter (who has been such an important member of our family through the years). It was beautiful to be joined by “the next generation” in our gathering together around the table. We had so many holiday meals with my parents at this same table in the past. As we celebrated Christ’s resurrection last Sunday, it felt like my parents were “with us,” looking upon us with love, happy to see the ongoing fruition of their lifelong labors, and with their souls full of joy…
I thought much of them all through the day, but it was with a sense of immense gratitude, and peace.
I’ll post more pictures during this week.
