Abstract
As I look at my eight month old son as he sleeps, I wonder what will happen when I go back to work and he enters daycare. I worry about whether he will be hugged enough and shown love through the day. I know that whoever watches over him will not possibly love him like I do and will not be able to make him feel as safe as I can.
