Rise and Shine!

I woke early this morning to the sound of someone coming through the front door. Early as in 5 a.m. Before I could even orient myself, I see the beam of a flashlight coming down the hall and then I hear, “Mom, wake up. We’re going to get donuts.”

Reminiscent of my dad doing this with me when I was a kid, it was Jacob doing it now. 50 years ago, this conversation would’ve taken us to Jimmy’s donuts in Sturgis for the best donuts in history. Today, we went to Pioneer bakery.

After sharing a single donut (he’s losing weight but had a bad craving), we parted ways and I went back to sleep. I was almost back asleep when my phone dinged with a message. It was worth waking back up for. I love that kid!
