Hope ur having a better day...

Well here we are. Its Easter. A time for families to gather in rememberance of Christ and all the blessings we each receive on a daily basis. Generally its a pretty upbeat time. I mean come on! Who can look at the Easter bunny and be grumpy??? The answer to that question is...me. Its times like these, times when families tend to gather, that it becomes particularly obvious to me that my family is quite unorthodox. No one in my family ever saw fit to teach me about religion, probably because its not important in their lives. I've never been to church with my parents. They never taught me bible stories. They never even told me the purpose of Easter so for the bulk of my life all I knew about was the candy and the bunny. Holidays were rarely, if ever, important enough for both of them to take the day off so we could be together. And as I got older they slowly but surely allowed the chirade to unravel. Until finally, now, holidays are like regular days around here. No more eatin together on thanksgiving or putting up the Christmas tree. I have to settle for invitations to go places with other people's families because my own has checked out. That's what I'm doing rite now; waiting for my friend to pick me up to go to church with her fam. Church started 20 minutes ago. I wonder if she forgot about me...
