Please remember that not every one has christmas off work...........

.....Because around the world, regardless of what day it is, a lot of people still need help to function on a daily basis, and without the people who dedicate themselves to caring for others, enabling the less able to remain at home or even in a home, their christmas just wouldn't be.......

...... just as some children will have to get their parent/parents up washed and dressed on christmas day and even prepare and cook the christmas for them, as they really are the true forgotten heroes because without them their parents would be in a residential care home and the children themselves will be placed into the system of children's or foster homes, so these young kids are really holding the families together, and at such a tender age when all kids really want to do is go out and play and make friends......

...... instead these children are socially isolated from people their own ages, as their jobs do not have a clocking off time and their responsibilities are so great that in some circumstances they even miss out on having any childhood at all.

So please spare a thought for the care workers and young carers of the world this christmas.

Thank you for caring.
