his little brother forcing him to grow
0:04
up sooner than he wanted
0:06
after his brother's death he started
0:08
going home at strange times causing his
0:10
mother to follow him one day to get to
0:12
the bottom of it
0:15
martin grew up too soon after learning
0:17
that his little brother joe had died it
0:19
happened two years ago when martin was
0:21
five years old
0:22
his brother joe had been ill for most of
0:24
his short life and eventually did not
0:26
return home from the hospital his mom
0:28
anna explained to martin that joe had
0:31
become an angel and was taking care of
0:33
their family from heaven
0:34
their family now only consisted of anna
0:37
and martin as martin's dad left them
0:39
shortly after joe was diagnosed with his
0:41
illness
0:42
anna worked tirelessly to provide for
0:44
her children and raised them bravely as
0:46
a single mother
0:48
since he was young martin would listen
0:50
to stories about heaven he knew that
0:52
heaven was far away and while his
0:54
brother flew there with his angel wings
0:56
someone needed to take care of their
0:58
heartbroken mother
0:59
so after joe's death martin helped his
1:01
mom out as much as he could at five
1:04
years old he washed dishes took out the
1:06
trash swept the floor and set the table
1:09
then after helping with the household
1:11
chores he'd lock himself in his room and
1:14
cry
1:15
everything in his room reminded martin
1:17
of his little brother as they used to
1:19
share it
1:20
the room was filled with joe's toys and
1:22
books making coping with the loss more
1:24
difficult for martin
1:26
two years have passed and martin was
1:28
already seven years old he would usually
1:30
take the school bus and walk himself
1:33
back home from the nearest stop but he
1:35
did not come at the usual time he'd
1:37
arrive one day
1:38
anna would usually be cooking dinner
1:40
when martin arrived from school however
1:43
the table was set on that particular day
1:45
and martin was nowhere to be found
1:48
where have you been
1:49
anna scolded him when he arrived an hour
1:51
and a half later than usually did
1:53
i was very worried what took you so long
1:56
she yelled
1:57
don't worry mom martin replied passively
2:00
i was just reading in the library and
2:02
lost track of time
2:04
anna was suspicious as martin didn't
2:07
actually enjoy reading books
2:09
martin didn't think she would check if
2:10
you were telling the truth but she did
2:13
she called martin's school library to
2:15
ask if he had been there yesterday no
2:17
ma'am
2:18
martin keener didn't come in yesterday
2:20
the librarian told her
2:22
anna was ready to reprimand martin once
2:25
he got home from school but again he was
2:27
late she was furious asking him again
2:31
what's your excuse this time where have
2:33
you been she asked
2:35
i was at my friend's house doing a
2:37
school project carl dickinson's house he
2:39
replied
2:41
that night anna called carl's mom who
2:43
she once met at a parent-teacher
2:45
conference she wanted to see whether or
2:47
not martin was lying to her again no
2:50
anna carl's been sick for a week and
2:52
hasn't been to school i haven't seen
2:54
martin in a while carl's mom answered
2:57
martin's mom was baffled as to why he
3:00
kept lying to her the following day she
3:02
decided to leave work early so she could
3:05
follow martin on his way back from
3:06
school
3:08
she saw martin leave the school but he
3:10
walked instead of getting on the school
3:11
bus
3:12
anna followed him from a safe distance
3:14
curious where he was going
3:16
martin walk a couple of blocks before
3:18
stopping on the town's outskirts
3:20
anna could not believe what she was
3:22
seeing
3:23
what is my son doing in these dark and
3:25
dirty streets she thought
3:27
martin casually walked towards an
3:29
abandoned house and went inside
3:31
and it turned pale and ran after her son
3:33
after a couple of seconds
3:36
when she entered the abandoned house it
3:37
was filled with empty rooms she couldn't
3:40
see where her son went at first plants
3:42
but she suddenly heard his voice
3:45
followed the voice and finally saw her
3:47
son her eyes filled with tears
3:50
she had assumed her son was doing
3:52
something terrible but she was proven
3:54
wrong
3:55
she watched martin sit across a
3:56
six-year-old girl reading a book to her
3:59
what's going on here martin
4:01
anna said softly with a smile on her
4:03
face
4:05
martin was startled when he saw his
4:06
mother thinking she would get angry
4:08
again
4:09
mom i can explain he told her
4:12
this is lizzy she ran away from her
4:14
foster family because they were not
4:16
treating her well
4:18
she's been staying here in this
4:19
abandoned house
4:20
i met her when my class went to the
4:22
nature park not too far from here martin
4:24
explained
4:26
when i met lizzy i felt bad and wanted
4:29
to help her
4:30
she told me she wanted to learn how to
4:31
read so i've been reading to her after
4:33
school
4:34
that's why i've been going home late
4:36
sometimes
4:37
i lose track of time and go home later
4:40
than i usually do
4:41
i'm sorry mom martin told anna
4:44
anna shook her head thank you for being
4:46
honest with me martin i wish you would
4:49
have told me sooner so that we could
4:50
have helped lizzy together
4:52
at that martin smiled at his mom and
4:54
decided to introduce lizzy lizzy this is
4:58
my mother anna she works as a doctor she
5:00
told the girl mom anna wants to be a
5:03
doctor when she grows up too
5:06
hearing these words lizzy ran up to anna
5:08
and gave her a tight hug
5:10
joe says you are the best mom in the
5:12
world
5:13
anna could feel her body stiffen as she
5:15
heard her words
5:16
joe who is joe she said surprised my
5:20
friend joe the young girl
5:22
replied anna looked at martin thinking
5:25
he had been introducing himself as joe
5:28
instead he revealed that lizzie had an
5:30
imaginary friend
5:32
joe mom our joe
5:34
she says she's been talking to him and
5:36
joe's been telling her stories about us
5:38
martin explained
5:40
lizzy nodded joe told me that you will
5:42
be my family
5:44
anna was in disbelief
5:45
she suddenly remembered her sweet boy
5:47
joe
5:48
and wondered whether or not lizzy's
5:50
friend was indeed her late son
5:52
martin and his mom took lizzy to their
5:54
home where they fed her and gave her
5:57
clean clothes
5:58
martin and lizzie remained good friends
6:00
and eventually became siblings
6:03
after a lengthy process anna was able to
6:05
adopt lizzie and they became a happy
6:08
family of three
6:09
together they constantly honored joe's
6:11
memory while making new memories of
6:13
their own
6:15
family is not always about blood but
6:16
love martin and anna opened their hearts
6:19
and homes to lizzie who was yearning for
6:21
a family that she could love and cherish
6:23
for the rest of her life
6:25
people cope with losses differently and
6:27
that should be respected
6:29
martin grieved the loss of his little
6:31
brother for years
6:32
while this mother thought he was being
6:34
disobedient he was trying to shower
6:36
another person with love and care lizzy
6:39
since he could not take care of joe he
6:41
wanted to take care of someone else who
6:43
eventually became his sister thank you
