When I got married, it generally made more sense to spend the holiday with my in-laws. After all, they are very religious. At the same time, there were years when that caused resentment because sometimes I wanted to be with my family, or just not have to travel. Now, my MIL, whom I adore, comes and spends a week or two with us each year for Easter. It's still tough to balance my MIL's religious devotion with my mother's anti-religious feelings.
And now our kids are on their own. Thomas and Lyndi have her side to visit as well, and Catherine and Zeke just kind of "do" whatever. I was never good about coloring eggs or doing egg hunts when the kids were little so it's not like we are missing any traditions in that regard, but I do still miss them being little.
Life feels really, really heavy right now, but I'm grateful for a few days of quiet and peace!
