We spent the evening before Easter at the cemetery giving Papa his Easter flowers, cleaning up, and replacing the worn flag that symbolizes his time spent in the Army. Discussing what headstone would be appropriate for the former leader of the Stahl clan.Easter morning was the first time we had been at Our Lady of Lourdes Church since his funeral.
Easter afternoon was the first time we set foot in the same emergency room of that fateful night a little over 4 years ago.
But the outcome from this Easter trip was different; cleansing in a way. We conquered what I never thought possible because we were given no other choice and sometimes, I think, God plans it that way.
We survived, a little tainted, but all healthy and basically unharmed; and with enough time to enjoy an Easter Egg hunt!
