CONTEXT
There is this saying, ‘You are only as happy as your saddest child’. Why? Because as Mum’s we are so deeply connected, entangled and so inextricably bound with our children and their day to day lives. The umbilical cord even though severed at birth, still flows richly with emotion and empathy.
