      Little Drifters is dedicated to Grace, a very special person who was always there in my time of need. Rest in peace.

      And to all the survivors in all the institutions and to all those who sadly did not make it. This is for you.

      When we were young, wild and free

      The happiest times for all to see

      Had its moments of sorrow and pain

      But I would live them all again

      Brothers and sisters sticking together

      Mother and father in all kinds of weather

      Life can be cruel and often unkind

      Now it’s a memory engraved on my mind.

      (‘Memories’, Anon.)

      Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.

      Without them, humanity cannot survive.

      (Dalai Lama XIV)
