Margo has been depending on her family since her husband left for the Army Services leaving her to handle everything on the home front and raising her son. But all the arising situations she's having to depend on them even more and wishing her husband was there to help but he's not. He's a mile miles away across overseas. She doesn't want to say anything to her husband because she feels like it will look like she's being selfish and unappreciative. He's doing what he loves and she doesn't want to take that away from him so she does the best she can in everyday challenges of life.
