oh no that sounds adorable! i bet she would have attempted to help him out and then fallen in herself… making it all moot. but she would also try to keep him from joining. i can see her offering to help by giving him some money. when he was gone she prob. spent a lot of time worrying. 8(. aw. he’s too darn sweet. if that’s something he did as a kid, then it might be something she adopted.

she saw him as something of an older brother, being an only child. would confide in him, because school and work and boys… she would stress herself out a lot.
