I find my pink basket full of eggs.
Mom, thank you for these, I say.
“I didn’t give you those,” Mom says, “The Easter bunny did.”
No, he didn’t, I say. You did. You’re the Easter bunny.

We head north to a small, quaint town that lights up its park for the holidays. There are lots and lots of lights. Lights of every color.
I am in awe.
I try to take it all in. But Dad drives too fast through the park on our first go round.
