ok... he just called (work related). After a few moments I enquired about his mom's injury & got more details of the fall, the dislocation & how long they were at the hospital. I told him that I had left a message for his mom on her vm. and to let me know how I can help (as he feels she will be taking up a lot of his time, not being able to function fully). She has a specialist appt today & will be requiring surgery.
GM... when you say to not take it personally (I DID).... but don't understand how not to take it that way. How do you mean its not about me? (I know its not) ... trying to understand how you mean.
Personal vs. Business..... how does keeping it "business" sound & look? If he was my business partner only... I would ask "at work" how his mom was and leave it at that... but, how can I really do that (she was my MIL for 20 years... I care). Am I not expected to bring over a meal or something?
