Easter is a day to celebrate rebirth and the start of new life - in more ways than one.
Easter
By J. L. Wendelin
Easter.
An appropriate day to begin her RLE.
The mirror showed a young woman in a green, floral-print dress. Nervously, smoothing the skirt over her hips, yet again, she smiled. And donned her Easter hat, a present from her mother. The gift was a surprise after their turmoil during the past year.
A horn beeped out front; her mom, with a ride to church.
Adjust the hat, one last check in the mirror.
Retrieving her purse, she took a deep breath, let it out with an affirming, “You go girl!” and opened the door to a new day and life.
