There’s a special kind of quiet in the house on Mother’s Day morning, isn’t there? It’s the sound of little feet tiptoeing past Mom’s bedroom door, the muffled clatter of a dropped spoon, followed by a frantic, whispered “Shhhh!” It’s the smell of hope, excitement, and maybe, just maybe, a little bit of burnt toast.
