………….

I come here every year, sometimes more than once. I stand on the other side of the lake and admire her. I’m energised by the memories and the strength I gained from those years.

The others, they vowed to never return, in fact they never speak of it. But for me there is comfort in visiting that old building, it feels like home. I don’t hold it responsible for what went on inside its walls. Just as it doesn’t hold me responsible for what I had to do to make her safe again.
