As my daughter Mia holds up the pink unicorn bath bomb, I watch her beam with excitement before she drops it into the water, squealing with delight when the water around her fizzes and turns magenta. ‘Look Mummy!’ she giggles. Every moment with her and her older brother Max is special to me because just a few years ago I came close to losing both of them. It shook me and my husband David so much that our whole outlook on life flipped and prompted some huge decisions which changed everything.
For years my life resembled that of. Since I was 18, my job had been on the trading floor, working my way up to head of e-product for National Australia Bank.
