I've learnt to be a pretty resilient strong minded person but when it comes to my kids it really tests me, not at the time but when I reflect on situations by myself.
Having my son come home and wake me up at midnight to tell me of one of his best mates passing away in a motorcycle crash has ripped me apart, the world just isn't fair and we are just a part of the domino effect, there's a mother who's son didn't come home for dinner last night.
My lad went and seen the mum and family last night, truly devastating.
My two girls and son always finish our convo with "love you", it makes me smile and feel so lucky every time.
That's horrible LM
My lad left home at 4am this morning to head North of Leigh Creek on Operation Flinders for the next 8 days, been tracking his snap maps as he travelled up there this morning and he is now officially offline for that period, it will be awesome for him and I know he will have a great time, but not being able to reach out to him, even a quick message, for the next week is going to be bloody tough!
