Inhaltsangabe:

Have you ever wondered how to bring your mum, dad, or loved one home from a care facility? I did, and this book shares the story of how I made it happen. It reveals the reasons that drove me, the challenges I faced, and why I refused to give up. Through these pages, you'll follow a deeply personal journey that shines a light on what the system often overlooks: the unshakable, irreplaceable love that binds families together. This is the kind of love, stronger than iron, that no bureaucracy can sever. It's a reminder that the bond forged through parental love is something no institution can truly understand. The story is serious in its message, yet peppered with moments of humour, offering insight into how the weight of institutional management can lead you astray, sending you in circles with endless hoops to jump through. But with a little spirit, unwavering faith, and determination, I found my way through every barrier placed in front of me. This is a testament to love, persistence, and the power of believing there's always a way home.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Philip was born on 1st September, a date that should have made him the oldest in his class but instead left him the youngest-and often in trouble. Leaving school at 14 with a handful of CSEs, he was steered firmly away from his dream of art school by his father and into the construction trade. An apprenticeship in painting and decorating proved its own kind of education, from grand stately homes to cramped flats, alongside weekly training at college. He earned his City & Guilds qualification and, with a British passport in hand, set off to explore the wider world.By 19, Philip had travelled through Ireland, across Europe, and as far as Istanbul, an adventure that sparked a lifelong love of travel. He swears he once crossed paths with Billy Hayes of Midnight Express fame-a claim Hayes himself wryly denied years later.Though his journeys have taken him far, Philip has always valued the warmth of home. Today, he continues that connection by renting out his late parents' house to fellow travellers, keeping alive the spirit of welcome and rest he once found there.
