Lynda's First Easter With Us...1974

This was Lynda's first Easter with us...1974.  This year is her first Easter in heaven...2014.  Earlier the morning this picture was made, Lynda was dressed in her little white lace leotards, her patent leather shoes and this little dress had a white pinafore.  She looked like a little princess.  The dress was special because one of Larry's co-workers at the community college in Brewton had given it to Lynda.  Just as we were getting ready to go out the door for church Lynda had a seizure and off came the little pinafore and later we ended up at the emergency room.  In this picture, she was using the silky material of the little slip that was made into the dress to suck her thumb.  Her comforter.  This picture was always a bittersweet one.  It was one of the first times we had Lynda all dressed up and it was one of our first experiences of seeing just how fast a day could go downhill with seizures.

Actually we were just beginning our journey with Lynda and at the time of this picture, I have to say we were totally clueless about what our future with Lynda would involve.

This Easter, Lynda is celebrating another first Easter...her first Easter in heaven.  I miss this little girl and at the same time I know heaven is sweeter with her there.
