Single Dad of Two Girls Wakes up to Prepare Breakfast for His Daughters, Finds It Already Cooked Jack, a single father balancing employment and two small girls, never anticipated discovering pancakes served by a stranger on his kitchen table one morning. Her moving tale of adversity and thankfulness, which he learns about when he meets the enigmatic benefactor, transforms his life and creates an unanticipated connection between them.The worst job I’ve ever had was being a single father to two little kids, Lily, who was five, and Emma, who was four. It was just the girls and myself when my wife left to tour the world. I was so in love with them, but I was also so tired from taking care of everything at home, working, and cooking.I got up early every morning.
I went to wake the girls first.I got up early every morning. I went to wake the girls first.“Emma, Lily, time to get up!” I gently called as I opened the door to their bedroom. Lily sat up, rubbing her eyes. “Good morning, Daddy,” she yawned to him.Half drowsy, Emma said, “I don’t want to get up.”I grinned. “Please, my dear. We need to prepare for daycare.
