morning without seeing you for a moment Jack's guard seemed to lower he looked up at her his eyes softening just a fraction thanks Sarah that's that's nice Of you to say Sarah beamed at him now let me guess scrambled eggs wheat toast and a sight of bacon Jack nodded a hint of amusement in his eyes you've got me all figured out don't you I try my best Sarah replied with a wink I'll have that right out for you as she turned to put in his order Sarah couldn't help but feel a surge of affection for

Jack he was a man of few words but she could tell he looked forward to these morning visits there Was something in the way his shoulders relaxed as he sipped his coffee how his eyes seemed a little less TR troubled when he was here Sarah made sure to check on Jack regularly as she bustled around the diner she topped up his coffee shared a few words about the weather and even managed to coax a chuckle out of him with a silly joke she'd heard from her son Sarah bustled back to the kitchen Jack's order slip

in hand as she pinned it to the order wheel Her mind wandered to her son James a wave of Love washed over her followed by a familiar Pang of worry she glanced at the clock knowing 'd be getting ready for school right about now order up Sarah the cook called sliding a plate across the counter she grabbed it with practiced ease her thoughts still on James at just 10 years old he was already so responsible often insisting on making his own lunch to save her time in the mornings Sarah's heart swelled With pride even as

it achd with the wish that she could do more for him as she delivered the steaming plate to a customer Sarah's eyes caught on the tip jar by the register it wasn't much but every little bit helped she thought of the jar at home hidden in the back of her closet where she squirrel away every extra Penny it was her dream fund the start of what she hoped Would One Day become her very own Cafe the dream seemed so far away sometimes especially On days when the bills piled up and the fridge looked a little

too empty but Sarah refused to let despair take root she'd come too far worked too hard to give up now keep keep smiling Sarah she whispered to herself a mantra she'd repeated countless times over the years better days are coming and she believed it with every fiber of her being she had to for James he deserved a mother who never stopped trying who showed him that dreams were Worth chasing no matter how long the odds as she refilled coffee cups and chatted with regulars Sarah's mind drifted to her plans for the evening she'd picked up

an extra shift at her second job cleaning offices after hours it meant less time with James but the extra money would help cover his school supplies for the new term it's all for him she reminded herself feeling A Renewed surge of determination one day it'll all be worth it Sarah wiped down The counter her thoughts still swirling with dreams and worries as she worked her coworker Mary sidled up beside her a concerned look on her face everything okay hun Mary asked her voice soft and caring Sarah sighed offering a small smile just thinking about the

future you know Mary nodded understanding in her eyes want to talk about it Sarah hesitated for a moment then nodded they moved to a quiet corner of the diner during their break settling Into a booth I've been saving up Sarah confessed her voice barely above a whisper I want to open my own Cafe someday Mary's eyes widened with surprise and admiration oh Sarah that's wonderful Sarah felt a warmth spread through her chest at Mary's enthusiasm it's just a dream right now but I'm determined to make it happen for James and for me Mary reached across

the table squeezing Sarah's hand if anyone can do it it's you you've got more grit than anyone I know Sarah's eyes welled up with tears touched by her friend's faith in her thanks Mary that means a lot but Mary's expression turned serious it won't be easy though you know that right running a business is tough especially for folks Like Us Sarah nodded her jaw set with determination I know but I have to try I want to show James that dreams can come true if you work hard enough Mary smiled a mix of Pride and concern

in her eyes you're teaching him that every day Sarah just don't forget to take care of yourself too okay Sarah felt a lump form in her throat Mary was right the road ahead would be hard but as she looked around the diner at the customers she'd come to know and care for she knew in her heart that this was what she wanted a place of her own where she could create not just Meals but a sense of community and belonging I won't give up Sarah said her voice steady and sure no matter how long it

takes I'll make it happen Mary squeezed her hand once more and we'll all be here cheering you on every step of the way Sarah approached Jack's table with a warm smile a steaming cup of coffee in her hand she set it down gently in front of him noticing the far away look in his eyes here you go Jack just the way you like It she said softly Jack's gaze focused on her a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth thank you Sarah you always remember Sarah pulled up a chair sensing Jack needed to

talk how are you doing today she asked her voice filled with genuine concern Jack sighed his fingers tracing the rim of his coffee cup just thinking about the old days I suppose before he gestured vaguely at his Wheelchair Sarah nodded her eyes full of understanding do you want to talk about it Jack was quiet for a moment then spoke softly I used to run a big company you know thought I had it all figured out Sarah listened intently her heart aching for the pain she heard in his voice then the accident happened Jack continued his
