Or, the answer-on-the-way (as in, where would I find thus-and-such piece of information)? If so, then I ask her/him. If someone else is, then I ask that other someone. Even though that may still mean a reference call to my parents, to ask for someone's contact info!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585896298739180098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072440028440011959.post-89318815102395854232011-09-19T04:56:49.871-04:002011-09-19T04:56:49.871-04:00I loved this memory, how special for your child kn...I loved this memory, how special for your child knowing they come first no matter what. To know you are important in the eyes of your parents really does matter, and telling your child this, matters too.

He told all his secretaries that no matter what he was doing, what patients he was seeing, what meeting he was in, if one of us called, they better come get him. I remember calling during college, and they told me he was with a patient. I tried to tell them it was ok, I would call back, but they had been schooled - they were like "no way- we don't want to be the one to tell Dr. B that you called and we didn't come get him." To this day, I think that is one of the most special things about him. He made it clear that we were important. So, yes, I think that this thing you did, is right. Kudos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
