“Try to understand how hard it is for us…it’s just that you can’t see the missing bits that we are having to cope without”

How would you feel?...You’re away from home in an unfamiliar place. A complete stranger comes into your room, speaks to you in a language you can’t understand and

starts trying to pull you out of bed.
