Da: Hun vidste, at hendes job som sygeplejerske holdt hende væk fra ham for ofte.

Da: Men midt i alt dette, begyndte Frejas telefon at ringe.

Da: Da Lars var faldet i søvn, satte Freja sig ned og tænkte over dagen.

Da: Hun vidste, at selvom hendes arbejde var vigtigt, var hendes tid med Lars lige så vigtig.
En: She realized that while her work was important, her time with Lars was just as important.

Da: Hun besluttede at tale med sin chef om en mere håndterbar arbejdstid, så hun kunne være mere til stede for sin søn.
