Whoever it was that said you are only as happy as your unhappiest child was very much on to something.
The heartbreak you can't control is the challenge of parenting - and I hate it.
I try and place it in a global context of how lucky our children are, that they have so much in a loving family, a safe country, food, shelter - so many things that too many others don't have.
But nothing can change the primal desire to fix everything for them and to hope and pray that they are ok and happy.
