Every morning I am up early, before anyone else in my household. Even before my husband, William, I let him sleep, he will wake up when he needs to. If I notice anyone heading outside to work and he's not up at that time, I will start worrying. For now, though I have to get the children's lunches, including his, ready, or they won't have lunch for the day.
