Sometimes love looks like an egg sandwich and folded laundry.
of us are early birds, mornings are sacred to our family of three. Typically, our waking hours are filled with work and school, dance classes and playdates, and all manner of things that make life enriching. And yet, there’s too little togetherness sometimes. That’s where thecome in. My daughter bounds into our room anytime between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., if we’re lucky, and hops into our bed, demanding, “Lights off!” as soon as she lands. We read a couple chapters of a book together.
As a kid, my mornings looked different. For years during my childhood, my mother worked at a job she abhorred and brought much of that stress home. She’d wake during the 5 a.m. hour, when I was still fast asleep, dress and do her makeup before the sun rose, and trudge into the office by 6 a.m. She didn’t enjoy the way that job interrupted her sleep cycle and always regretted that she wasn’t there to send me off to school, though she was there to pick me up at the end of the day.
Yet for all the things I learned to do for myself, I never had to make my own breakfast. Each morning, Mom left a cellophane-wrapped egg sandwich on our formica counter for me. She’d use a fresh, sliced roll from the bakery, then layer it with egg and Canadian bacon, both fried in a battered old pan. The cellophane caught the heat from the ingredients, steaming everything into a deliciously soft, yet never soggy, sandwich that kept me full until lunchtime.
