Being away from your family for an extended period of time
is hard. But missing big holidays is even harder. This semester we were missing
Easter back home. To make things easier on all of us, we decided to celebrate
Easter with our new Cleo’s family. We all contributed in one way or another to
our big feast. People made food, desserts, organized Easter games, while Bryan
and I decorated the common room to get everyone in the Easter spirit. It was a
great way to get everyone involved, and feeling a part of our makeshift family.
We all had a blast getting ready for the big Sunday. The meal we shared that
late morning was one that was full of fun and laughter.
I had never felt more grateful for the friends I had there with me. I am continually thankful for their support and love. The group of students we have is special, and made this Easter unique and exceptional. Even if we were away from our family back in the states- we had a new family in Australia.
