It's completely true .... "A mother is only as happy as her Unhappiest child" .... Not a day, or night, goes by that I don't pray for and ask that my Father In Heaven watch over and protect my children, this includes my sons and daughter-in-law and my grandchildren.  When I know that one is struggling or hurting it weighs on my mind and heart.  It was so much easier when they were little and I could "chase the monsters away" with just a hug and a kiss.  If only it were that easy now ....
