A Quote by Louise Nurding
My son Beau got very ill when he was just four months old in Majorca. He contracted a really bad case of gastroenteritis. Everything feels so much worse when you don't speak the language, and you need that reassuring conversation as a mum, but you can't have it.

It was fine when I was single and childless. Carrying the responsibility of screwing up your kids at the same time is huge.

See you in four months!" But no one said "We need you," and I really knew that it was time to think about someone else for a change.
