This Sunday morning, the kids were out, and the house was unusually quiet — the kind of quiet that feels peaceful at first, almost like a gift. With no cartoons playing and no footsteps racing down the hallway, the morning seemed to stretch out slowly. Sunlight spilled through the windows, coffee brewed uninterrupted, and for a moment everything felt calm, normal, and safe. It was one of those rare pauses in life that makes you breathe a little deeper.
