I could not stay up late to see my husband who had to work a late shift at his part time job, get up at 5 a.m. to see Brandon off with breakfast and a hug, and pull a full day of homeschool, farm, and household duties. This worked to make sure my son knew I was thinking of him and loved him even though I wasn't physically there to see him off. I often leave notes with treats or meals to let someone know I am thinking of them...and love them very much. It's a simple way I have found to minister to my loved ones.
