Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Hey KO's -- what are you doing for your *own* Easter celebration this year? I'm cleaning and decorating today and the next few days! We will be cooking eggs on Friday, and coloring them on Saturday. Getting some fresh flowers for the kitchen/dining room table! I think daffodils or joquins (?) or those yellow flowers that look like daisies. We're making a ham, mashed potatoes, asperagus, salad and getting some nice desserts from the bakery. We'll get one chocolate rabbit for each of us and a few small candies for each. Easter egg hunt on Sunday -- indoors, then going out and getting some fresh air after dinner -- going to a park where we can walk around. Enjoy and share your holiday plans with us. Hugs, Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Barb, Probably the most we will do is hunt eggs & sit on our behinds & watch movies while we eat them. I don't know if we will do anything else yet or not. I don't want to be far from home as my son might call that day from boot camp. I did get a form letter from the officers of the boot camp he is in yesterday. But I can't wait to hear his voice now. I also wanted you to know that I did like your poem. I thought of writing a poem about mine, but it was as an adult not as a teen. I was too busy fighting for my freedom. I had to leave or allow myself to be smothered to death with the confinement. She wanted me to take over on giving financial support of my siblings & give up all chance of my own future. I would get so sick that it constantly made me sick with migraines & bad stomach aches. I found that I could keep them from coming on just by getting out & getting drunk or high. I found your poem very sad & wished that I could go back in time to be there for you. I think that all my really close friends were kids like you & I who didn't get along with our mothers & were lost just like we were. Its too bad that we didn't know each other then. I have a feeling we would have been best of friends for life. Love ya, Debbie Our own Easter anyone? Hey KO's -- what are you doing for your *own* Easter celebration this year?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Hi Debbie: As a teenager I was friends with a few kids who had abusive mothers and fathers, or no fathers, etc. Ironically, I was usually the only one -- even amongst them -- to talk about my Nada and get it off my chest! (Most of them were boys! A lot of boys learn early to hide their true feelings and thoughts.) I would have loved to have you to talk to back then! I'm sure we would have been best friends. But I have you for a friend now, and that is wonderful too! It's weird -- but with my teenage friends, I feel responsible and guilty that I didn't do " more " for them -- I couldn't " save them " from their Nadas! How could I? I couldn't even save myself from mine! I feel deep sadness and pain for the problems my teenage friends had. Probably reflects my own sadness and pain for the problems *I* had!!! At least I had and have the capacity to love, to feel empathy for others, etc. NOT like Nada, who lives in her own world, and just tries to hurt everyone she encounters -- yes, like a poisonous snake! Ugh! Your Easter egg hunt and sitting on your butt watching t.v. while you eat them sounds like a lot of fun! If it rains, I will do the same here! LOL Love, Barb > Barb, > Probably the most we will do is hunt eggs & sit on our behinds & watch movies while we eat them. I don't know if we will do anything else yet or not.
