Walking in the green grass. The wind stirs the flowers around me and the petals go flying in the breeze.
My cloak answers the wind as it swirls around me. I raise my face to the sun and feel the breeze.
As my bare feet relish the coolness of the grass. There up ahead a bright pink egg is hiding.
Putting it in my basket. I move on in search of more.
Then a little girl with a bright smile and dark eyes runs to me. Mommy mommy!!
Look I found a Yeyo one. She holds up a brightly colred Yellow egg.
Yes u did good job. Her smile makes me smile and my eyes hold back tears.
I look up “doesn’t she look lovely mom”. A ray of sunlight beams down on us and the wind stirs my daughter’s hair.
I know she sees us the nana in heaven. I grab my daughters hand and continue to look for eggs.
Smiling as tears roll down my cheeks. As I remember last year when my mom was still with us.
Then up ahead I find a garden of sweetpeas. And I hear “sweet peas for my sweet pea” on the wind.
Her nickname for her grandchild. Taking a picture of her amidst the flowers in every color.
Happy Easter mom! And I hear in a little voice beside me Happy Easter Nana!
Grabbing her in a fierce hug. I am reminded I’m blessed.
