Fate

While reading this poem I was truely touched. To say I experienced the same exact thing would be an understatement. Not only do I have a beautiful baby boy, I had lost another baby in a previous pregnancy by the same man. What I experienced made me realize a lot of things in life. While I can't say I'm glad other people went through the similar situations, it is good to know that I am not alone. I used to cry everyday for my son and I wondering why he didn't want to be in our lives. Not only was I a single-teenage parent, I was a teenage-parent of a disabled child. My son was diagnosed with Down Syndrome at 7 and 1/2 months old. His father is missing out on the biggest blessing God bestowed upon us. My son is the BEST thing that could have ever happened to me and I don't regret any moment of the whole experience. God gave me Deontae because he knew I could take care of him, he truly is a blessing in disguise.

I also was a silly girl in love with a stupid boy that lead me to become a single teenage mother. I prayed everyday for 9 months for god to bless me with a baby boy. My mother walked out of my life when I was 10 years old and I was terrified that I would repeat the cycle. My father, the best father in the world has been here for me and my son. When my son was 10 years old I failed to break the cycle and walked out of my sons life. My father took my son in and raised him. I never stopped loving my son not for a minute and I don't regret leaving him for I was a very confused, angry, depressed and unstable young mother. That was 13 years. ago. now, a much older me and a much older son, with the help of my father (who never gave up on me) my son doesn't hate me and so far we are living happily ever after. thank you god.
