Easter

I just realized that last year Easter was on 3/31.  I'm not a practicing Catholic but always do Easter dinner with my family.  As it turns out that was the last holiday Dina was alive for.  She was still in the hospital so we technically couldn't celebrate with her but she was alive.  I got Hannah dressed in her Easter dress (purple of course!) and brought her to visit Mommy.  We hung out for a while and other visitors came and went while we were there.  Then Hannah and I went to dinner at my aunt's.  It wasn't ideal but at least Dina and Hannah got to spend some time together.  It was supposed to be the last holiday that she was in the hospital for.  as it turns out she died 11 days later and it was the last holiday she was alive for.  Pretty damn strange to realize that.

I could easily relate to your life as well. Easter was our last holiday with my husband. Then little did we know that on April 30th, on his 39th birthday we would never see each other again. He went to work and never made it home.... Life is so unpredictable... Sending all my prayers for Hannah and yourself.
