“Mommy, Mommy, wake up! Nana is making us some yummy breakfast!” Alayna squealed as she and Dylan jumped on me to wake me up.

“Okay, okay, I’m up!” I laughed and scooped both of them up in my arms. “Here comes the tickle monster!” I said, taking turns tickling them both. I loved hearing their little giggles. I would have to tell them what was going on eventually, but for now, they were happy spending time at Nana and Papaw’s house.

Dylan gave me a curious glance. “Why’re your eyes all big and red, Mom?”

“I just don’t feel good, sweetie,” I replied, not ready to give them details. They weren’t ready, either. I would try my best to shield them from most of what was going on, but I couldn’t protect them from it all. They may be only seven and four, but they were smarter than I gave them credit for. “Hey, why don’t you go help Nana with breakfast? I’m sure she could use your help.”

“I’ll race you to the kitchen,” Dylan said as he and Alayna took off running and giggling.

“Hey, no fair! You cheated! Nana! Bruhder cheated!” I heard Alayna shout through the house.

I rolled my eyes and laughed at their sibling bantering.

Throwing my legs over the edge of the bed, I winced as I was quickly reminded of my headache and puffy eyes. The sun shining through the window was blinding. This was worse than any hangover I’d ever had.

With a groan, I walked toward the kitchen. The smell of bacon, eggs, and biscuits and gravy filled the room and made my stomach rumble. I’d forgotten how hungry I was. I hadn’t eaten anything in almost twenty-four hours. Plus, nobody could cook as well as my mom. She made the best biscuits and gravy I’d ever tasted. No matter how many times I’d tried making them, they’d never tasted as good as hers.
