At times I wonder how happy it really is for some. Memories of bad Christmas, loss of loved ones, separation of families, there is a number of factors that can contribute. This is not meant to hit until you reach adulthood.
This year among all the joy I took this photo.
This is one girl from my friends dorm. There were times over Christmas morning she sat and just stared into space. There were moments of joy but the pain of separation was quite visible.
She came to the centre a number of months ago now. The police or social services brought her here as they felt she was not safe at home due to events which had taken place.
This was her first Christmas away from her family and it was clear how hard and different it was for her. I hope that this Christmas has replaced horrible memories with happy ones.
