Ice and Fire

In the morning, Cherry got up very early and made breakfast with Lily.

When Jackson and Joe came downstairs together, they saw that Cherry was busy cooking breakfast in the kitchen. Joe then shouted cheerfully, "Mommy, Mommy, is the breakfast ready yet?"

Cherry answered, "Almost. You can sit in the dining room and wait for your Great-Grandpa, and we'll have breakfast together in just a minute."

"Alright, " cheerfully replied Joe.

After a while, Andrew also came downstairs with the use of his cane. When he saw that Joe and Jackson were in the dining room, and that Cherry and Lily were cooking breakfast in the kitchen, he suddenly got the true meaning of the word "family".

Joe greeted him happily, "Good morning, Great-Grandpa!"

Jackson also stood up and walked towards Andrew. He then helped him sit down at the table in the dining room.

Andrew looked at Jackson and greeted him nodding. He then looked at Joe, and after he smiled, he said to him, "Joe, you got up quite early."

"Yeah, my Mommy has to wake me up early every morning. Oh, it's such a torture!" said Joe, with an aggrieved look on his face.

Sitting next to him, Andrew looked at Joe, and said, "You need to go to school, and you have to get up early so you don't be late."

"Well, I really want that the weekend would come sooner, so I can sleep in, " said Joe with a pout.

"Naughty boy!" said Andrew smiling at his great-grandson.

Cherry and Lily then brought the breakfast dishes on the table. When Cherry saw the hearty breakfast that she cooked, she sat down next to Jackson.
