ok, so blogger ate a long entry yesterday, the one where i was feeling sorry for myself because my firstborn didn't come home for easter, and how his easter basket was sitting on the counter after lunch even though he lives but 36 miles away........but.......he did end up calling to wish us well and to let us know he was writing papers or he would have come home for lunch........i know that easter is not like christmas...and i know that eventually he will not even come home for that holiday...as he will be with his wife's family at some point......i might as well get used to this........maybe we will have to get into the habit of going away for holidays.....i would mind less about the children not coming homne if i were in hawaii or cruising new zealand.........
