Make the meal for your family before. As you leave home the first striking worry for you is the meal that your family will consume behind you. If you are leaving on Monday prepare meals in the weekends, as the meal can be stored in refrigerator and can be reheated whenever required. Hence, your family can feel your love and healthy meal through some frozen casserole or roasted chicken even in your absence.

Leave some notes, a small note expressing the known emotions will cherish the smile on your child’s or partner’s face. Keep the note of ‘I Miss You’ note in their clothes cupboard or ‘I Love You’ under the pillow to make them feel your presence.

Be in touch, stay in contact regularly with the help of e-mails or cell phones. Take the advantage of the electronic technology and be in touch with your family continuously. If there fall any special function send the e-greetings through the emails.

Record your message. Record your voice in a tape and say a small tender full note to your child or read just a small bed-time story to your child to make them feel that you are nearby.

You can stay connected to your family even when you are on tour. Be in constant communication and make them feel that you will be there soon near them.
