“Good morning, honey! Did you sleep well?” I asked Matthew as he enters the kitchen. “I don’t know Mom,” he replied, rubbing his eyes, “what’s for breakfast?” and seated himself on the table. “Here you go honey, pancakes for you… soft and fluffy, just the way you like them,” as I plant a big morning [...]
