I am not a morning person, so I couldn’t prepare breakfast for my husband to eat before he left for work. Even on the day I woke up early because I couldn’t sleep well, my husband was more concerned about my physical condition than his meal, saying that he could eat a sandwich provided by his company. One day, I put myself in my husband’s shoes; ‘How hungry would I be if I went to work in the morning without having breakfast?’
That evening, I went grocery shopping with a firm determination to make breakfast for my husband. Thinking that my husband would probably stop me, I said to him: “As I wake up late in the morning, I can’t have a fruitful day. So I’ll get up early and have breakfast together with you.” Then he didn’t stop me.
The next morning, I woke up at the alarm sound and prepared breakfast in a hurry. The menu was rice cake soup with dumplings. Having breakfast after a long time, my husband thanked me. He said that the meal was very good and he was full. Then he added that he would bring me the sandwich when he received from his company in the morning.
As he had promised, he brought me the sandwich after work. The sandwich was cold because it had been refrigerated. I was very sorry that he used to eat a cold sandwich on an empty stomach every morning. I regretted that I didn’t make breakfast for him earlier.
Actually, I had prepared breakfast for my husband before. However, seeing me go straight to bed after making breakfast with a sleepy face, he seemed sorry to have breakfast. One day, he said it was okay not to eat breakfast, and I believed his white lie.
I’m proud of my husband and grateful to him; though he seems outwardly indifferent, he always puts his family first. I hope that he will go to work with more vigorous steps after having breakfast.
