Another short stay

Paul and Roy arrived at the children s home around 1 am and the place felt deserted. Roy thought another house that looks nice but how long this time. They were put straight into bed and they could hear other kids sleeping around them. They were in a semi-detached house but the two had been knocked through into a single building, yeah building because they both knew this would never be home. The only things that stay in Roy's memory about this place was, he got pocket money for the first time ever. Something he wouldn't have again for a long time. You gotta remember that all this was happening during the school summer holidays. The other thing that happened was they thought they'd teach Roy how to ride a bike and while trying he fell of and landing in a large patch of stinging nettles. That was a day he'd never forget. Like he'd thought this stay only lasted around 10 days. When they were of again, back to the village they were born in. To live with someone who had been a friend of they're mum. Would this help heal the pain? While all this was happening Lorna and Ian were taken from their home to a different children s home in St Andrews. It was so far away due to the fact that they were only 11 months old and still had nursing needs. Neither Roy nor Paul knew any of this at the time. Roy was so worried about them, he was the big brother it was his job to look after them. How could he when he didn't know where they were? Ian and Lorna where lucky, Roy discovered decades later, they were put up for adoption and were taken in by an amazing couple who still to this day care for them both. However it would be 43 year before they discovered where they're lost siblings were. Actually again Roy discovered decades later that they didn't know he existed. I mean seriously that is so wrong folks and the whole point of this blog. This still happens today in the 21st century. We need to stop families like this being split up and ruined because of social services, social workers and this Victorian system the government still think works!
