My sister and I pack our sandwiches in wax paper like our mother did when she packed our lunch boxes. Even for lunches now, when we are eating right then - it is like mom is with us.
We were just talking the other day about the lunches our mother packed for us every single day except when the school lunch ladies had pizza, burgers and fries or chili con carne and then she would scrounge for change so we could eat the school lunch.
If I saw my mother’s writing right now, I would dissolve in tears.
I think we also brought 5 cents for a small milk carton :)
