I have been a stay at home mum for so long that I can't even begin to contemplate returning to the rat race that is called 'work' — alarms, traffic jams, awkward office small talk — my brain freezes just thinking about it.

Lemon cake (her favorite), some of her closest friends coming by in the evening, and a cozy dinner with her kids around the table.

My father wasn't a man of many words. He wasn’t cold—just quiet. The kind of man who spoke through action more than voice. He worked in the same factory for 32 years, never once called in sick, and never bought anything unless he could pay cash for it.
