I was born Edward Anthony Masen in Chicago, Illinois. It seems like a very long time ago. My memories of Edward Masen's life are distant, dark and clouded - a past life - most of which has been lost in the folds of time. My parents, the ones who brought me into this world, are dead, succumbing to illness one after the other.
My life was changed after this loss, more than I can begin to explain. Dr. Carlisle Cullen who tended to my mother at her deathbed adopted me, and he and his wife Esme became the truest parents I had ever known. This was my family, and it grew, the goodness and love that Carlisle and Esme had radiated over us all: myself, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie and Emmett. I did my best to emulate Carlisle, his control and his careful thought, my purpose was to maintain the life he has created for us all.
Life was satisfactory, banal but tolerable, until the day I met Bella Swan. I never knew that someone like her could exist. She could destroy me in a moment, but she was my light and I was blind without her. From the most unstable of beginnings our love took root and grew.
Now that beautiful Swan is my wife. She is selfless, brilliant and beautiful. Our love has been tested and found worthy. I love you Bella. You have given me a beautiful daughter, Renesmee, who never ceases to amaze me. She is the best part of both of us.
I spend most of my time doting over those two, seeking advice from Carlisle and keeping in touch with our extended family. When I find free time I enjoy driving fast, expanding my music collection, playing the piano, reading incessantly and playing a game of baseball with my family whenever the weather allows.
