Easter without my brothers!

A co-worker just brought me a chocolate marshmellow chocolate egg. Took me back to about 5th or 6th grade when we lived on the corner of Manett and Garrett in Dallas. One of Mom's friends, Joyce Maxwell, brought Donnie and I a BIG box of chocolates for Easter. Such a huge box or so it seemed big at the time. Mom let us have 1 piece, and the rest of it went in the deep freezer and we were allowed to have 1 piece (or if a big chocolate bunny, then we could break off an ear or some part) and eat it once a day.

This is my first Easter without both Don & Marion. Incredible that they are both gone. I miss them both so very much. My heart is broken.

I know they are together and are in Heaven with Jesus and that someday I will join them. I treasure each memory I have of them until I am reunited with them again.

Hope you and your family have a very Blessed Easter!
