Easter Memories

I'm not really sure I have a favorite Easter childhood memory.....but I do have a Easter childhood memory and a photograph to prove it......Early April, Houston Texas a rare photograph of my entire family of origin, even my German Shepard puppy...Shawna. We looked happy, the appearance was late 70's in all it's glory. We had the latest trendy clothes....you can see it the pastel polyester suits my dad and I had on, green and blue, I know you can see it....I'm in the powder blue and dads in the Easter pastel light green. Both my sisters decked out in their Easter dresses....Ahhh yes, from the outside we were the all American family, but inside we all were dying. Dad was an alcoholic, mom had mental health issues  and us. I never remember dad being in church, I seriously think he got in the photo because mom forced him too....My favorite memories of Easter are all recent. driving to church on Easter Sunday thinking.....wow,  I am part of the staff at a church, it's Easter, our Superbowl......Jesus is at the right hand of the Father and all is well in my world and my soul.....Thanks to The Cross of Jesus Christ !!!!!
Peace and Love
