Every year, whether due to work, living, health, study or other circumstances, hundreds of millions of people around the world spend time apart from the children they love: sometimes for days; sometimes for weeks; sometimes for much longer.
- Maybe you’re a mum on a two-day business trip;
- Perhaps you’re a dad on a week-long training course;
- Maybe you’re a mum deployed on a long-term mission with the armed forces, or with an international organisation such as the United Nations;
- Perhaps you’re separated or divorced and, therefore, are often apart from your children;
- Maybe you’re a sports person, away for another game;
- Perhaps you’re a grandparent, living on the other side of the country, or even the world;
- Maybe you’re a birth parent or part of an adoptive family in an open adoption;
- Perhaps you’re a musician, on the road for another gig;
- Maybe you’re an ageing godmother, who can’t make a short journey down the street to your godchild’s house given debilitating health issues;
- Perhaps you’re an aunt or an uncle, living in neighbouring city;
- Or maybe you’re an adult sibling, studying out of town.
