A Celebration of Life! Easter.

Tomorrow is Easter. I can’t help but think about all 11 of the amazing Easters I had with Kenzie. I have been looking through pictures and she always had the best smile and never let her brother get all the eggs! I loved watching them wake up and see their baskets. And then the excitement when they looked outside and saw the Easter bunny even hid some eggs!
Last year we got the confetti eggs and had an epic (and messy) egg hunt that I will never forget. And best believe the confetti eggs are already in play this year as well…
Of course I am so sad right now. Of course I want to scream at God and wonder, “Why?”. I even contemplated not doing Easter. I mean school isn’t in session… Brem probably wouldn’t even know if we skipped it this year. But that is not what Easter is about. It is not about the eggs or the baskets or the bunny. We are celebrating Jesus rising from the dead. Not only did he rise from the dead, but he endured an amount of torture no one should ever face. And his father, our father, had to watch his son face so much fear and brutality. So today I have to look to God and say I know you know my hurt. You know more than my hurt. But we will all get through every path of life. We will persevere. And we will always know there is life after death.
Tomorrow is a celebration of life! It is so ironic to say that. Before I lost my girl I never thought of Easter like that. Of course we talked about what Jesus went through with the kiddos, (pg rated)… but the eggs, candy and bunny took the real glory. In this time let’s please focus on the fact our God, or higher power, whatever you want to call him gave his son. Knowing the hardships he would go though. For us.
I feel at least a sense of comfort knowing he did it for a reason. A big reason. So there has to be a reason he took Kenzie too. If we dont see it now we have to have hope we will someday. This virus has given us a chance to focus on who we still have. Taking the time we have with them and making it special. Playing games, talking, eating all the leftovers the next week because we don’t want to go to the store… There is a bigger picture here. There has to be! We dont have to all lose someone to realize this. Just be open and think about it today and tomorrow. We are blessed with this day. We are blessed with everyday.

I want you all to have a very Happy Easter. Love on the ones in your house and reach out to the ones who aren’t. ❤🦋🐞☀️😇🙏🌻🌿💒
