Lunch Packing with Love

While Emma and Jake munched away at their cereal, I shifted my focus to packing their lunches—simple sandwiches, but always with a special twist. Each one came with a little handwritten note, a small token of love to remind them someone was always in their corner. “Remember, Grandma loves you!” they’d often say, silly but sincere. “What’s mine say today, Nana?” Emma asked, her wide blue eyes full of curiosity. I just winked and slipped an extra cookie into her bag, letting the note do the talking.

Taking a Lunch Break with Lisa

After dropping the kids off at school, I headed to Lisa’s office for a quick lunch, hoping for a brief moment of connection. “How’s work?” I asked, keeping my tone light. She sighed and rolled her eyes, “Busy as ever, Mom. I barely get a moment to myself.” I nodded quietly, chewing my sandwich while she rattled off her endless to-do lists. She had no idea what was coming—none of them did. I just smiled and kept my own secrets tucked safely away, knowing everything was about to change.
