Single dad of two little girls wakes up to prepare breakfast. To his surprise, everything was ready

Life as a single dad is an endless whirlwind of responsibilities and emotions.

My two little girls, aged 4 and 5, are my world.

Ever since my wife left us, claiming she was still young and wanted to explore the world,

I’ve shouldered the burdens of both parenting and providing.

Every morning is a race against the clock to get them dressed, fed, and off to daycare before I head to work.

The exhaustion is a constant companion, but their smiles and laughter make it all worthwhile.

But recently, something strange happened that turned my hectic routine on its head.

It was an ordinary morning. I woke up groggy and tired, as usual, and began the familiar ritual of getting my daughters ready.

We made our way to the kitchen, where I expected to pour milk over their usual oatmeal.

To my astonishment, there were three plates of freshly made pancakes with jam and fruit waiting for us on the table. My first reaction was disbelief. I wondered if I had somehow prepared breakfast in my sleep.

I quickly checked the house, but there was no one there.

My daughters, still groggy themselves, didn’t seem to grasp my questions about the mysterious breakfast.

They just enjoyed the delicious pancakes with their innocent delight. Despite the oddness of it all, I hurried off to work, my mind unable to shake off the morning’s peculiar events.
