As I have well advertised, our group didn't gather on Easter. So, no Easter Sunday show for us. Instead, we ate the noon time meal with mom and dad in their very nice dining room at their independent living community.
As time goes on, the command to honor your parents takes on new meaning for us.
It never was clear to us that dad knew who we were yesterday. Mom told him that we were Bill and Evelyn but we couldn't tell if he ever understood that I was his son Bill with Evelyn is his daughter-in-law.
At one point dad referred to Evelyn, to her face, as a stranger.
The sweetest moment of the day came when the four of us took the Lord's Supper together.
As long as I have a memory, I will remember that.
