Bear Grylls Quote

When my parents were away, I would often be sent to spend the night in the house of an older lady who I didn’t know, and who didn’t seem to know me, either. (I assume it was a friendly neighbor or acquaintance, or at least hope it was.)I hated it.I remember the smell of the old leather photo frame containing a picture of my mum and dad that I would cling to in the strange bed. I was too young to understand that my parents would be coming back soon.But it taught me another big lesson: Don’t leave your children if they don’t want you to.Life, and their childhood, is so short and fragile.
