Mind - just catching up. I hope S13's foot is ok! It seems like when it rains, it pours.....................The kids are the ones that lose the most in all of this. Sometimes I have to remind myself that - because they do a great job rolling with the punches (and I very often seem to be a basket case), but it does all catch up with them at times.
I agree, Ruled's advice is spot on. You can't hide them from everything. You can't protect them from the pain, but you can reassure them that you will always be there and love them - and I know you will do a fantastic job with this!
