We had a lovely Easter even though my daughter wasn’t there. I went to the sunrise service on the lawn of the church at 7:00 am. Chilly weather. Moving service. At our celebration, my sister brought me a lovely cactus flower that was blooming, my favorite jellybeans and my favorite pastries - eclairs. That was really nice. We get along so much better and text each other or call daily. We all picture spammed my daughter with pictures of her and my niece when they were young. We were looking through old albums. She laughed and laughed when we face timed her.

Mom and I are spending too much time together. I must correct that. I’m getting irritable and resentful. I know how lucky I am to have her at the age of 88 in May. Having said that, being together 24/7 isn’t good for anybody. I have therapy in 10 minutes and planned to go out for a pedicure after that and run errands. She invited herself along. Oh brother! Not good.

We went to a chorale and orchestra that was hauntingly beautiful Tuesday. Magnificent! Sunlight was streaming through the stain glass window and it was all so moving that I cried at the very first song. Then I started thinking about how brother is happy and pain free now and cried some more. Truly beautiful.

It’s a beautiful day here and I’m going to catch some rays after the pedicure.

I hope everybody has a peaceful day. Much love
