person A: I really liked having my mom here. She helped with the kids but then when she left I missed it.
person B: I can imagine! That extra set of hands -- and a person you can *trust* -- that's the best!
person A: Yes_comma_ the kids really missed her when she left. It took us a while to get back to the normal around here.
person B: Does she live far away? It sounds like maybe visits aren't too frequent.
