The Easter Bunny IS real
As many of you know Michael has been out of work since October. Easter is a very important holiday religiously. As a member of the Primary Presidency we organized a special Back to Bethlehem activity to have the children walk through the last week of Christ's life. This activity was how I planned on commemorating the holiday for the children. We simply didn't have anything extra to spend on Easter Baskets. It's fun to play, but I've always emphasized to the kids that the Easter Bunny, Santa, the Tooth Fairy are myths. They can still enjoy those childhood moments and memories but I've always wanted them to be able to trust that I have always taught them the truth. I never wanted them to discover the truth about childhood myths on their own and question other things I taught them. I realized this year that the Easter Bunny IS real. By that I don't mean there is a fuzzy bunny hopping throughout the world distributing chocolate eggs. It's the spirit of the Easter Bunny that is real. I suspect it's the same spirit that embodies Santa. Anyway, an anonymous bunny dropped off a bag full of goodies and presents for the children. I felt so appreciative and grateful that someone would be aware of our situation, remember our children and want to help create those precious childhood memories for them. So yes,Virginia, the Easter Bunny is real.
