The email pinged, a simple, unassuming sound. It contained a link to a recipe website. Hesitantly, she clicked. There it was: “Aunt Millie’s Meatloaf” — exactly what she made for years. A grin spread across her face.

She jumped up, dancing around the kitchen. She felt like she could fly. She suddenly was overcome with a sense of excitement and energy she hadn't felt in a long time. She felt like she could leap over the moon.

She started singing at the top of her lungs, completely forgetting about her chores. She didn't want to think about anything but this. She wasn't just excited, she felt… something else, something wonderful.
