We all love our families. Maybe not every single minute of every single day but all in all especially at holiday time, we love our family.
My family is spread all across the country and I miss spending holidays with them. Lucky for me my husband has a pretty big family and I have always spent holidays with them.
My daughters have always been near me and always spend holidays with us as well. I should not feel sad on the holidays because I am with family. But I miss my family, the family that I had before my married family. Family that I had before my children. I miss my mom, she lives in Texas. I miss my brother and his family they live in South Carolina.
Holidays always make you think about the people that you’re not with. You wonder what they’re doing and even though you talk to them it’s not the same as spending the day with them.
And this year my youngest daughter is away in California for work. I shipped her a little something special for the holiday and she called and opened it with me on the phone. She was a little teary-eyed and missing home. It reminded me of those first Easters when my mom moved away almost 30 years ago. It was still a holiday, it was still nice, but not being with her made it not the same. I’m sure that’s how my daughter feels being so far away today.
So I hope you were able to be with the ones you love today. Or at least visit with them on the phone for a few minutes. That even though some of us had little sad moments in our day there were a lot more happy moments to hold onto!
Bless you all, Happy Easter ❤️
