Thirteen days left before Easter, I couldn't wait mom would make this vanilla wafer dessert that would melt in your mouth it had strawberries and whipped cream mmm it was worth the wait.
Aunt Paula made the Easter baskets for myself and two other siblings she would fill it with stuffed animals, candy and a chocolate bunny she put toys and fun stuff in the baskets she made every one different colors with pretty ribbons and helium balloons attached. Mom and Aunt Paula always laughed when they were together they set up tables in the back yard and decorated from one end of the yard to the other, they put food out on one table and on another table they would set out deserts they would talk and laugh about things I didn't understand but it was fun watching them move around trying to set up for our Easter Day.
Mom was about ten years older than Aunt Paula but you couldn't notice it the way they got along so well first thing in the morning if Mom wasn't calling Aunt Paula then it would be Aunt Paula calling Mom just to see what the other one had going on for the day which really didn't matter cause they always ended up together.
This Easter year was different cause my Aunt Paula had finally divorced the man we had to call Uncle David, he (Uncle David) had this mean streak in him he never smiled, he was rude and mean to my Aunt. He would boss her around call her names and beat her a lot my mom had to go to their house to pick up my Aunt cause Uncle David had beat her so severely and threw her out of the house sometimes he threw her on to the street with no shoes and bleeding from her head nose or arms , Aunt Paula never called the police cause she new that...
