・

More than my cool friends who can do anything

More than those bigger boys or girls

More than the little ones

I just wanted to hear you say “I love you the most”

page10

I wanted to be your number one hero,

because I love you so much.

I wanted to protect your smile.

page11

When I was little, I did everything I could, but I couldn’t be that hero,

and not even now when I’m big.

It’s so painful.

It’s so sad. .

page12

But now I finally understand,

how my “love” is just a little different from your “love”.

Mommy, you were happy with me just being alive and well.

You loved me no matter what
