(1) Experience
The story affected in my thinking in someway. I realized the relation between the mother and her children started from the childhood. So, she must treat the child as an understanding person. And I got that everyday gone the child grows and the choices to fix the relationship become more narrow. Also, all mothers love their children but every mother has her special way to express her love. For example, in the story Annie requested a transfer from the best successful place, which was great (her job) just in order to see her daughter Grace happy. I saw Annie was right in her choice even if she got fired. But this is her daughter and that was just work! She can find work with her experience and her management everywhere she wants.
