In the last 18 hours, I have gone on a journey from this:

Zach put it in perspective. He is really great at reading people and asked me what was wrong.  In the best terms I could I explained what was up.

To which he gave me a hug and then sat beside me looking pensive.  He then looked at me and said,
"Well Mum, you can't give up. Never give up.  It's like that time I wanted to learn how to do armpit farts.  I couldn't get it at first, so I had to keep trying. Now I am the best armpit farter ever!"

Jaysus. I can't think of a better, more poignant way of putting it.

Thanks for the wake up call kid.
