I remember when I was
having a family vacation in Bali a few years ago, I received a surprise call
from my dad and he simply asked me how's my holiday and I said it was
great. Only later I realised he saw the news about earthquake in Bali. I feel
bad to know that while I was having a great time, he was in fact worrying the
whole time.
Being parents, we don't have a radar to monitor our children's
every move (they can decide to keep their phones in silent mode). But it is the
children's responsibility to be contactable at all time, for parent's peace of
mind.
