"Where we love is home -- home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts."
-- Oliver Wendell Holmes
We were away this year for Easter and so we told our children that we would celebrate when we returned home. I felt a little badly that they would not have their Easter treats, but... Enter one of my college roommates. When she picked us up at the airport, there were several beautiful bakery boxes tied with Easter-colored ribbons in the back seat of her car -- one for each of my children. Inside were the most delicious Easter goodies I have ever tasted. And today, Easter Sunday, she welcomed my family to her home for an Easter egg hunt and brunch. My children had a wonderful time and left with bags of Easter goodies. We might not have been home, but my very special friend who is truly more like a sister made us feel right at home.
