[[Nodding in agreement with his first statement, she sighs at the question.]]

...I'm sure they do. In some small part of them, anyway. Some more than others, I'm sure.

[[It's okay. They can miss their moms together. :c]]

...I do not want to worry... worry mother. [Look at that frown.] But there is no choice... yes? It is what they are like.

[usedtherapy]

Yes, that's right. Even if you are doing nothing to worry them, they will worry anyway. That is just what mothers do.

[[She sees that frown, and frowns a little herself.]]

But the nice thing about mothers is that they are very understanding as well.

[ Mommy issues ahoy. Marco looks uncharacteristically serious, not that Rose would know the difference. ]

Huh. Almost missed the holiday; I guess I haven't celebrated it in a while.

...disappeared? I'm sorry to hear that. That must be hard.

[[Despite the slightly strained relationship she has with her own mother, she couldn't dream of being without her for three years...Even one year would be hard.]]

I can see why you wouldn't have celebrated the holiday.
