I've always looked at Easter and a time for new beginnings, kind of like a New Year (except in April, not January). Last year, at Easter I was hoping for more time with Jason, but that didn't happen. Instead, I found myself in a new situation...young widow with two small children. I know that for a while I had been a single mom, it was just that Jason was available if I needed him to talk to the kids or something. But now I was without him and wondering how on Earth I was going to make it.
Well, the year has passed and we finally (and I mean it!) have made it through our last first. Jason died last year after Easter because it had come earlier than this year. As I sat in church with Jason's family, the kids and Kevin I realized that this year will be a year of more beginnings. Some will be scary, others will be happy, and others I don't really know yet how to feel about them. I do know that no matter what, God and Jason will be there to help me through whatever it is that troubles me. I might not understand why it happens, but I must look for the positive no matter what.
So here's to new beginnings. Happy Easter everyone.
