I arrived home in the early hours of the morning .. great to see all my family ..

I brought a few small presents home .. but the most special of all was a small elephant I found in a “Dirty Girls ” container .. Lost by a child on their journey to safety .. coincidentally  Alexander has a very similar stuffed toy he cuddles in bed .. his name is Elli and his new friend from Syria is Fant ..

This stuffed toy means a lot to me .. and I hope that Alexander will also grow to appreciate the symbolism. .  This sounds very strange .. even to me .. I find it hard to fully describe .. I hope the child that Fant once belonged to has reached a welcoming place and started to make a new life with his  /her family   .. I have always been an optimist but I know that this hope has a slim chance of becoming a reality in the short term.. one love x
