We hung out at home just family
and finished up the last of the Easter chocolate
Then we went over to Thomas and Natalie's for a little cook out
Then they went to Post where the USO had a Sesame Street Live show free for the kids.
They all wore their Army hats.
The USO also gave them each a bandana and an Elmo flashing toy.
Then to Rita's for some Italian Ice
Good all things considered
THEN THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED
Andrew's big brother. Evan, a four time deployed Airman
DIED of a self inflicted gun shot wound.
He had gotten out of the service a couple of months ago and had a new job and new son.
My heart aches for his wife, Felicia
