A mother was separated from her two young girls during her week long stay in the hospital. The hospital rules prohibited children under twelve from visiting patients. The eleven-year-old daughter understood the policy, but the six-year-old took the restriction very hard.
The little girl’s father understood why she was so worried when he overheard her talking to her mother on the phone for the first time. As she said good-bye, she tearfully exclaimed: “I’ll see you when I’m twelve, Mom!”
