It is 7:30 PM, and Mia, who is three years old, is bursting with energy. Mia is excited for sleep, bouncing around the house with her favorite stuffed animal tucked under her arm and her jammies on.
Sarah and Mike, Mia’s parents, laugh as they observe the contrast between Mia’s eagerness for bedtime and their regular arguments. But Mia’s excitement is contagious tonight.
Giggling, Mia dashes to her room and calls out to her parents to join her for the ritual of going to bed. Mike and Sarah trail after, fascinated by Mia’s unexpected love of sleep.
The nightly routine takes a lively turn in Mia’s room. Mia insisted on selecting a colorful story about amiable dragons from a stack of books for her bedtime reading. To Mia’s enjoyment, Mike creates sound effects while Sarah reads aloud.
Following the narrative, Mia takes control of her nighttime routine, making sure to choose her coziest blanket, brush her teeth with a disproportionate amount of excitement, and arrange her stuffed animals in the ideal order.
Mia surprised Sarah and the rest of the family by breaking into her favorite bedtime song, complete with unexpected dance moves and off-key humming. When Sarah and Mike join in, the family starts singing happily.
After finishing her nightly rituals, Sarah bends in to kiss Mia good night. With beaming eyes, Mia whispers, “I love you, Daddy and Mommy,” and then curls up under her covers.
Mike and Sarah look at one other, amazed at the unanticipated happiness Mia has brought to their evening. They come to the realization that sometimes the cutest things may be the most heartwarming as they carefully exit Mia’s room.
Sarah and Mike, thankful for the small pleasures of bedtime and the love that unites their family, consider the beauty of parenthood as Mia smiles and goes to sleep. They feel fortunate to have such a lively and affectionate little daughter as they leave Mia’s room.
Grandfather Forbids Anyone from Touching His Old Mattress, and After His Death, a Girl Discovers a Hidden Stash Inside
Inside her late grandfather’s mattress, Brooke uncovers a stash that shatters everything she thought she knew about her parents’ death. But this hidden secret doesn’t just affect her; it threatens to destroy the entire town.
Brooke stood in the doorway of her grandfather’s bedroom, her nose prickling as memories flooded her mind. Her breath came in unevenly as she remembered all the times she had visited him, almost hearing Granddad Charles’s hearty laugh echoing through the halls.
“I can’t believe he’s truly gone,” she whispered, running her hand along the old oak dresser.
The room smelled of old books and the faint scent of Granddad’s favorite pipe tobacco and his signature Aqua Velva aftershave.
After a moment, Brooke’s eyes fell on a framed photo of her parents on the nightstand. She was truly alone in this world now, as they had died years ago in a freak car accident.
