“A confession. At the beginning of my career, I would inwardly roll my eyes at children who had no schoolbooks but the latest mobile phones or sneakers... I had misunderstood many things ... a poor but stable family is very different from a poor and unstable one...mobile phones and hoodies sometimes carry far more meaning than their superficial appearance...Parents who have very little can carry enormous burdens of guilt born of love; their hearts ache with the knowledge of the happiness that is missing in a childhood that is, after all, painfully fleeting. Such parents often remember the privations and suffering of their own youth and don't want them to be repeated.” — Brendan James Murray
