Today is Easter. We all had a great day, but we really missed Ian's presence here. I have to admit that he gave us quite a treat today. He sent the kids Easter baskets and me a beautiful flower arrangement. He also was able to Skype us for the first time in almost a week. It was a real treat to be able to see his handsome face! The kids had a blast showing him their Easter stuff and their new clothes I bought them.
We went to church and then went over to my friend's house and had dinner and an Easter egg hunt. It was a great time, considering the three families who were there all had deployed husbands. It was nice to be in fellowship with other Christian women and especially to be able to be there for each other in the absence of the husbands.
All in all a great day. We loved having great friends to share the day with, even with Ian's absence. It was a true blessing to be able to see him for the first time in a week on Easter Sunday when the kids were home too. I know this road we are on is a hard one, but it is our road to walk right now. We are all learning so much from this experience. The #1 thing is that I need to rely on God to get me through everything. #2 is that I cannot take a single day/hour/minute with my loved ones for granted, no matter how far away they are. Every day is a blessing.
