One thing that President Bill Clinton did was to sign into law the FMLA - Family Medical Leave Act. I've always been happy to see that people can use this without losing their job.
A woman at work was contacted by her mother's hospital last week. They told her to start making funeral arrangements. Eek. My co-worker showed up at work today, but she's using FMLA to take off until her mother passes. A lot of people don't have that opportunity.
I want my co-worker to be able to spend lots of time with her mother, and I hope her mother hangs in there for awhile. I probably should feel bad for being so selfish to wish for that.
