1:30:32 > 1:30:35And I looked out of the tent and the sun was coming through the trees
1:30:35 > 1:30:38and birds were singing and...I was happy.
1:30:40 > 1:30:42Happy that I'd woken from that awful dream.
1:30:43 > 1:30:45It was just a dream. Bad dream.
1:30:45 > 1:30:47You woke up and you were relieved.
1:30:47 > 1:30:49Yeah, I'm not saying it was anything else.
1:30:49 > 1:30:52But the feeling I had in that moment, it was like...
1:30:52 > 1:30:54I was grateful that I'd been given the time
1:30:54 > 1:30:56to do everything in life I needed to do.
1:30:58 > 1:31:01And I just wanted to come and find you and tell you what had happened.
1:31:03 > 1:31:05You never mentioned that.
1:31:08 > 1:31:10Because we'd just met.
1:31:11 > 1:31:13It felt ridiculous.
1:31:15 > 1:31:16But I'm telling you now.
1:31:16 > 1:31:20'And the story goes on.
1:31:20 > 1:31:23'At this moment, Daniel has a life.
1:31:23 > 1:31:25'A real one.
1:31:25 > 1:31:27'With dreams.'
