A MOTHER'S LOVE The Visits that Saved My Life

Growing up in Toronto, Joshua Stern did not have the easiest life. Being the baby of the family, very hyper and quite a contrast to the rest of them, Joshua struggled greatly to find his place. Making matters more complicated Joshua used to speak about dreams he would have that would come true, or were too real to be ignored. The dreams and premonitions that came true were very difficult and confusing for Joshua so naturally he turned to his family for support but they, with the exception of his mother, mocked and ridiculed his cry for help and understanding. Joshua, and specifically his father, became increasingly distant after he confided in him about an intense dream he had and he was worried it would come true. The result of which took a major toll and tensions were mounting.
