Missing Nora on Easter

Tomorrow is Easter sunday. I am afraid it will be a difficult day for our family. Last year's Easter was such a memorable day. The sun was shining and the air was warm. Kamilla and Nora were dressed in their matching green dresses, Mom was home from Rochester for the weekend and everything seemed perfect.

Nora became attached to a little yellow plastic egg that day. She clung to it where ever she went at my Grandma's house. It was wet with slobber throughout the day. She was so happy that day. She had a smile on her face while watching her sister and cousins search for Easter eggs outside at my Grandma's house.

Whenever I see a yellow egg at Easter, I will be reminded of my little Nora. We miss her every single day and wish that she could be her to hunt for Easter eggs herself this year. Kamilla wants to bring a basket to Grandma Sally's house this year so she can hunt for Easter eggs for Nora. I can imagine the smile that would be on Nora's face when she fills her basket full of colorful eggs. She would be running and laughing and playing with her sister and cousins.
We will say a special prayer for Nora this year on Easter. We have placed a basket of her favorite yellow eggs at the cemetary for her to enjoy. I know that she would love the little pink bunny too.

Nora's memorial will shine brightly at the church in which she was baptized and the church were her short little life was remembered. The memorial was created for her by David Badman (http://www.badman.com/), a local artist.

We miss you Nora.
