But I suspect that isn't always possible. Instead, we will need to give them as much support and encouragement that we can, even if they don't give us too many details. I know when I first moved away from my mom, I wasn't terribly communicative but I really valued knowing that she'll always be there for me if I was ever in a bind.Belindahttp://thehalfwaypoint.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7077596651922595536.post-74417152973984123002012-07-21T05:02:40.065-04:002012-07-21T05:02:40.065-04:00Missed this one!

Leaving it at work allowed me to keep the professional distance I needed to do my job effectively. I imagine as a mother it would be hard to witness, however.
