It feels very different this time. I have a 5 year old I need to think about and although it means I have no chance to show I'm worried at home I am more worried than I have ever been before.
I have been told it makes sense to prepare. I suppose all parents should but the advice was given with care and terrified me. I'll write her a diary and use it to give her memories I might not be around to express in person.
Having children makes you contemplate your own childhood and I had a great one until high school, where some bits were really shit. There were some bad memories from when I was younger but actually overall it was great and now I type that, high school had some fantastic bits too.
