Everything I Need

When my tire is flat, I’m sitting in the dentist’s chair, waiting in line at the DMV, or cleaning up after sick kids; I will remember today and smile. I don’t know if it was perfect, but it was everything I wanted.

The day started with an egg/scavenger hunt put together by teenage daughter (aka Easter Bunny). Little Monster chased Big Brother and Monster Queen through the house in delight on his hands and knees. Monster Queen created chalk art on the sidewalk, and Big Brother taught her to play a game.

Teenage daughter spent the morning helping me cook (without being asked). Mr. W worked the horses. Grandpa joined us for lunch, and we all enjoyed one another.

Ana, William, and I took a long walk in the sun. Later, Riley, Ana, and I played catch.


An entire day to celebrate the Resurrection. An entire day of peace and calm. Perfect? I don’t know, but I do know it was everything I need.
