Beautiful and heartfelt Caro, and those children were very lucky to have you. My closest friend works with troubled kids and has the same deep investment. I admire her so much for this difficult work. I imagine it’s equally heartbreaking and rewarding. But how exciting you’re going on a trip for yourself. ❤️

How beautiful this is to read. Your description of the work you did gives such a depth of understanding and wider dimension to the absolute instinctive, lived, knowing that you bring, that is the fire in your belly, to the fight for your girls in this oh so broken system. I wish you days of joy on your holiday.

Thank you Helen. I am so excited to go away and know that distance from this intense wild life with my daughters will give me a deeper perspective and hopefully some energy to continue x
