I remember as a young mother of four working hard to keep my kids safe.
Next to fed and dry (two still in diapers!) that was each day’s goal: No one got hurt.
It never occurred to me THEN to add: No one got killed.
Read the rest here: What is Safe?

I lost my youngest son unexpectedly when he was 39. I miss him and talk to him every day.
With my 2 other children that is what I wanted also . To protect them and my 2 granddaughters. Keep them safe. I am a Christian. My faith, trust and hope are in Jesus. Some days are harder than others as well you know.
