Actually, Stephanie, you CAN write your mom and tell her all about your trip. You will actually feel the sharing as you write. I lost both my parents when I was in my early 20's. When I started having kids of my own, I became sad and, with a friend's help, realized I was sad because I couldn't share my kids with theml My wise friend told me to write a letter to them and tell them all about my kids. It worked! I actually could feel the sharing, and it helped me get through the pain. Try to enjoy your time in Denmark. Don
