I find that Easter makes me think so much about faith and family:<br /><br />My Mom had so much faith and was such an inspiration to me. She passed away in August of 2014 and I think about her every day. I'm thankful I had such a caring Mom. She had such a positive outlook on life and never complained. Holidays were her specialties.<br /><br />On Easter, she made sure we had the prettiest dresses, making them herself. Dresses for the six daughters and a vest and bowtie for my brother Sean.<br /><br />My favorite dress was the year my Mom sewed us yellow-checked gingham outfits. They were adorable! Bright yellow-checked dresses with white collars, trimmed with yellow rick-rack and ribbons.<br />Mom had even made us matching purses (she had been saving the plastic dish soap bottles, chopping off two inches at the base that served as the bottom of the purse. Then Mom sewed it up into a drawstring bag and trimmed it with rick-rack and ribbons, we were really "styling," especially with those fancy purses!<br /><br />Angela, I wish you could have met my Mom, you would have enjoyed visiting with her. Because of her Irish heritage, she could tell wonderful stories about her family (Mom was the youngest of 12) and oh-those-stories! And though Mom was frugal, she enjoyed tea and after my Dad had passed away, she moved from the family home in Miami to West Palm Beach. There was a very nice Ritz Carlton nearby and for family engagements or bridal showers, she had the nicest afternoon teas at that Ritz Carlton.<br />One other Easter memory:<br /><br />Twenty-one years ago, on Easter Sunday, my son Nick was born. I was a first-time Mom, an older 1st timer and everything was so exciting. Since it was Easter, the nurses were giving out little bunnies (stuffed, of course!) I think I still have that bunny. <br /><br />That year Easter was on April 3rd and that's one Easter I will always remember. Thank you Angela for writing such vivid stories and for inspiring so many fond memories. Happy Easter to you and Alex and your family.
