With three of her four children at home my mother threw together an impromptu Easter dinner last weekend. Brother Joe was in town to run a marathon and I came up to visit. My mother's house is attached to my sister's, so it was only Mark that was missing from the pop-up celebration. The dinner was simple- there was ham, some macaroni and cheese and a salad. We all sat down at the table and enjoyed a few laughs as we reminisced about days gone by. To have almost everyone together is quite the feat. Mark and his three children made it down to see my parents a few days later.
I wonder if he had any Easter dinner leftovers. If he did, does that mean we were kinda all together for the holiday?
Maybe next year.

For your parents, especially, I'm sure it felt like a quorum. And that counts for a lot!
