Heidi was always very close to her mother so she didn't hesitate to share the news with her. She told her everything about the man she was dating, Ed Savitt. As a supportive mother she was, Kay was happy for her daughter.
However, Kay was aware of Heidi's tendency to get attached too quickly. She began to worry that her daughter would end up being hurt but she couldn't stand in her way. As any mother would, Kay wanted to make sure that Ed was the right partner for her little daughter.
