Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. Today I bought carnations as a reminder of Easters gone by. When my sister, brother and I were young, Dad would buy my sister and me, a carnation corsage. Mom got one of orchids, my brother got extra Easter candy. It was always wonderful to awaken on Easter Sunday to the delightful scent of those flowers. We'd pin the corsage on our new Easter outfit and head off to church. After Mass, the flowers were put in the fridge to help keep them fresh, but honestly, I don't remember wearing them after church...
I'm sure many have memories of candy, egg hunts, new Easter outfits, but it's those flowers Dad got for us that is the best Easter memory I have.
What do you recall with fondness?
