After my favorite breakfast, Carne con chile, two eggs, beans, corn tortillas, and two cups of coffee, we said our goodbyes. My mom cried. Mary and Ralph promised to look after her. With that, I drove back to Wheeling. I felt like it was my lucky day. My favorite breakfast, and now Cassie was making breaded pork chops, au gratin potatoes, and green beans. Later we watched TV, took a nice warm shower, then went to bed.
