Easter 2018

"Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of man, the victory of a just cause, the triumph of truth." -  Menachem Begin
 This is long overdue.  These photos were taken almost three months ago.  My slowpoke pace of  posting about  stuff is terrible.  The flow of ideas doesn't really come easy sometimes, no matter how I try.  I end up staring at the computer screen and then leave because  this  tiny nugget of a brain of mine  does not work!  However, when I get lucky, I can post  like 5 articles in a day but that is very seldom.  I can remember when I was just starting to blog, I am always excited  to write   different things everyday to the point that I  would ran out of things to write.  These days however, I have so many pending stuff to write but my  brain does not cooperate.  
 Anyway, our Easter celebration was awesome.  We just went to church and attended  a mass then came home and eat.   Ever since my FIL went to a home and then passed away, our  holidays are spent  just the four of  us at home.  I miss the family gathering  when my FIL was still alive and we  are all on the same page and got along so well.  We still get invited to  family gatherings, it's just that it feels so different without my husband's Dad so most of the times we chose not to go. I wish that my side of the  family is near, I'd probably have my Mom over everyday or I'll visit her often.  It sucks to be so far away.
For Father's day's celebration, we visited my brother-in-law whom we haven't seen since my FIL's funeral.  It was  so nice catching up with him and his wife.  They live quite far from us but it was worth the drive.
"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored." - Earl Nightingale

    Always getting together with family is special. Great photos of a good looking close knit family who enjoy being together.

    We usually do holidays just the 4 of us as well. It will be more just the three of us now, since my oldest daughter is out of the house now.

    It is so true I always try and express thanks and caring to the ones I love whenever I can and don't hold back. I am sure you were a good daughter in law to him.

    It's not easy when a family member passes away, you can feel the significant change from their absence. Glad you had a lovely Easter and a fun Father's day celebration!

    That's so nice to be able to spend time with family, especially around the holidays. Sorry to hear about your loss. It sounds like you have a supportive family unit that is there for you.

    I guess writing most of the time really depends on our feeling. Me, I can totally relate to this. I have times that I feel so lazy and ending up having some pending posts.

    It's not always easy to celebrate holidays or special occasions when a member of the family has passed away. I think it's really nice though that you're spending time together as much as you can and that you try to get together with relatives from time to time!
