Mother was known for little desserts. Everyone had high praise for her special creations. So dainty and delectable!! The presence of just one: it could coax a sweet tooth to ache, or tease the tongue to salivate. Father was the one who kept bragging on them. And the kids; they kept begging for them.
As a creative exercise, mother enjoyed making her tasty treasures. But it was the extravagant praise she received from one and all, which inspired her to start her own business. She would generate treats for the world at large; and earn income for the family.
All encouraged this new enterprise. Father, who believed a mother belonged in the home, had no objection to a business operating from the kitchen. The kids; they looked forward to special eats, always close at hand. Before they knew it, her oven was producing many a sweet treasure. Prized by one and all, Family Fancies soon became famous.
However, no one anticipated the hidden sacrifices, which would thoroughly disrupt their normal life. It was not easy, providing the world with mom's Family Fancies. Once begun, their homelife was never the same. They came to learn; what seems sweet, might also be difficult to digest.
Fortunately, success did not spoil; and dissent did not displace. As families often find a way to endure, they learned to adjust. Endurance and adaptation, allowed everyone to prosper; each in their own noteworthy way. Because, just as mother's Family Fancies were very special, so too were the members of this unique family.
