One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. "Sweetie, my company wants to promote me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that you've done well and allowing you to skip a grade, but you'll have to leave your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher." "She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was lost in thought. The question kept me wondering for the rest of the night. I had said "yes" but for the first time, I realized the difficult decisions adults had to make.

For almost four years, my mother would call us from Bra zil every day. Every evening I’d eagerly wait for the phone to ring and then tell her everything happened during the day. A phone call, however, could never take her place and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.

During my fourth-grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large empty apartment; __▲___ It was then I started to understand the difficult choices she had to make. She needed to think about both family and work.
