01:27i forgot all my pain he would hug me and say mommy i missed you those words gave me strength
01:37our life was not easy we lived in a small rented room some nights we had little food sometimes i skipped meals so edward could eat more
01:49but i never let him feel hungry i wanted him to smile i wanted him to feel safe edward was a bright boy he loved to draw
02:01every night before sleep he would show me his drawings he would say mommy one day i will make a big house for you
02:12my eyes filled with tears but i only smiled i kissed his forehead and said that is all i dream of my love
