Happy Easter
Another Easter without Lisa. It is really hard because her birthday was on the 20th.
I am trying to be positive for the rest of the family but Joe and I are both feeling down. We spent a couple of hours watching videos Joe made of the Czech Republic where we lived for a year. On that disc was a video of a day Lisa, Harvey, Cevyn, Joe and I spent at the Gatineau Park in the Autumn. It was a magnificent day - the leaves were flaming red, yellow and brown. Cevyn enjoyed exploring off the trail - she had boots on so went down into a stream with her dad. Lisa was on the video and I could hear her voice. It was bittersweet. On the one hand it was great to see and hear her but it was so very very sad, knowing that I will only hear her in the past. I won't get a call from her or spend time with her until I join her in Heaven.
Easter is a time of death and rebirth. Oh how I wish Lisa would come back.
So tomorrow we will celebrate with our granddaughter, her dad and Beth, our son Andrew and his wife Tiina. A candle will be burning for Lisa.
I wish you all love and peace this Easter.

We will always miss the ones who are not with us in the way that we wish they could be. Hoping today is a gentle day filled with present moments and lots of love. I understand seeing videos and hearing their voices. I have only be able to do it once and it was so bittersweet. May you feel Lisa with you... Loving comfort always my friend. XO Joanie
Hello Marlene, it is hard to hear our children\'s voices but not be able to hug, touch them and to know their physical presence is no longer hear. I do love your tradition of having a candle lit in honor of Lisa; inviting her spirit to be with you. Its beautiful. But so, so hard. I know...as we celebrate Easter it helps me to remember because Jesus conquered death we have no reason to fear it. Because He lives Lisa and Ed live also. But we will always long for them. I wish you peace. Love to you and Joe and precious Lisa, Linda
