I remember how much I loved the mornings at our house.

      Mom would open the curtains to let the sunlight in and greet us with a cheery "Good morning!" We could often hear her singing in the kitchen. Some times Daddy would sing with her. She would sometimes sing the song "Beyond the Sunset oh Blissful Morning."

      By the time we got up Daddy was off to work and Mom had been up for hours. The house always smelled like breakfast cooking.

      To this day mornings are my favorite part of the day.
