My mother sat at her front door when my brother Mark and his family came over to wish us a Happy Easter. They brought mom flowers and succulents. It is an odd Easter for many of us. My mom usually makes Easter lunch for the entire family and has games lined up… this year it is just three of us: My mom, Sacha and myself. I imagine for you and yours it is similar, a different feel, somber, with thankful rejoicing and prayers of hope.
and tears.
Chelsea sent me some videos and photos of Gabriel's first Easter. Yann was able to join them for lunch.
Yann took out some Easter decor for our home. The bunny was his when he was a baby.
There were no more chocolate eggs at the bakery, so he bought a chocolate bunny at the shop.
First Easter. Did any of us imagine it to be like this?
When I start to feel sad I pull myself up with…
You have the luxury of being safe, of knowing your family is safe.
And that puts me on track within seconds.
We all have a price to pay in this moment of history unfortunately some pay a much higher price.
Yann took a photo of the first rose in the garden.
He made me so happy by thinking to send a photo of one!

Happy Easter!
May we too rise against the odds,
have faith to face the unknown,
and follow love no matter the cost.
I am holding on to those I love and those of you who have blessed me throughout the years.
May you be safe, may you be well and may you be happy.
