Basket that I made for Jolianne's Room
Jolianne's basket at the cemetery
I have been going back and forth with myself this month trying to decide if I should do an Easter Basket for Jo Jo. I went to the store today to get stuff for the boys' baskets and when I was in the Easter section I noticed this cute dainty pink basket with pink frillies around the edges. The moment I saw it I knew that I had to get it. I went to the eggs and saw the cutest little eggs decorated with butterflies and flowers and I knew I had to get them as well. I thought to myself, "I need to make Jolianne a basket too, I don't care how silly it may seem to anyone else. I need to do this for her." It gave me such joy to sit and think about how I was going to decorate all of the kids' baskets.
I want to ask you all to do something special this week. Make an Easter Basket for a loved one who is now in Heaven. I know that it may be hard to do, but this is what I hope for you. While you make your basket, think of only happy memories that you have of your loved one. Take some time and write down some of your favorite memories and place your writings in some of the eggs you have chosen. Imagine that your special someone is looking down from Heaven to see the beautiful gift you have made. (I believe that they will be!) If you can, take your basket to the cemetery as a memorial. It would even be special to have your basket be the centerpiece for your Easter lunch or dinner with your family. I believe in continuing to remember our loved ones through acts of love and kindness. The greatest gifts ever given are from your heart!!!
Please remember on Easter that Jesus gave his life for you and me. He loves us with all of his heart. His Easter gift for us is everlasting life.
Love you all,
Crystal

I dont know if you've gotten over to Abby's page..we let balloons go on Easter...we, my husband, my son an I, wrote angel names on them..Abby shared hers with Jolianne. So, it was very emotional. Wishing you the best, I emailed you last night too babe.
