Every year growing up we had an Easter egg hunt at our memere and pepere's house. Each egg had a number and the number you got matched the chocolate bunny you would get. All my cousins were much bigger than me and would find multiple eggs and win multiple chocolate bunnies, but I always got the biggest one. Well it's time to admit that my Godfather (uncle Bob) hid all the eggs and always pointed me to the grand prize. That's the kind of person he was...looking out for the little one and always making me feel special! I'm sorry for the loss, but happy he no longer suffers and leaves behind so many happy memories!
