When your child leaves home to serve a two-year mission, the joy comes tangled with heartache. Drawing on her experience sending three sons into the field, Gail Jennings Tietjen offers candid, funny, and reassuring guidance for the "parent left behind." From confessing your less-than-noble tears to preparing your missionary with practical life skills, from navigating girlfriends to the farewell talk and the homecoming, this book reminds anxious moms and dads that their feelings are normal—and that everything will be okay.

  • The best-kept secret in the Church: how it really feels to send your child on a mission
  • A funny, honest lifeline for the 'parent left behind'
  • From tears in the temple to the shirt she couldn't stop sniffing—she says what every missionary mom is thinking
  • Practical prep checklist so your missionary can iron a shirt, sew a button, and survive without you

Perfect for an LDS mother whose son or daughter has just received a mission call and is quietly terrified about the coming two years apart.
