My Boy – Had I Known

My beautiful little boy. 7 years old here and now thinking back I can now see the changes in you that were happening and all your challenges coming to the surface. Had I known then what I know now my love, I would have done so much more for you. The sorrow in your face and all the confusion going on in your mind and we as your parents didn’t know or understand. May God give us the grace to do everything possible for you going forward.

He will be 14 next month and has a bright future ahead. He is brilliant and funny and loving and strong. I already see his future brightly lit and I tell him often to affirm him.

Children who struggle with unregulated emotions don’t know it themselves. It is a developmental delay that begins in the womb. Medication, patience, guidance, compromise, education and attention brings growth and maturation which requires time and love. Is it hard? Hell yes! Do I fail sometimes? Yes sadly. Is he worthy for me to try harder everyday? Yes yes yes.

Mama loves you to the moon and back.

Published by Be Beautifully Broken

Hello and thank you for stopping by my blog Be Beautifully Broken! My name is Adriana Leon. I am of Cuban descent, 51 years young and am a mother to four beautiful children, a college graduate, a mother, a sister and a three time business owner. But none of that came to be without baggage, brokenness, growing pains, learning curves and an insurmountable amount of low self-esteem. Be Beautifully Broken blog is dedicated to helping woman understand how to survive, learn and grow from the various stages of life that each woman will experience in some capacity. Along with helping women grow, I hope that this will also serve men with an inside look to a woman's point of view. So many men don't understand how women tick, what makes women come alive or what women want. So if you are a man, I welcome you to my blog as well. If you are a husband wanting to help your wife or understand the woman in your life, you have come to the right place! Disclaimer: I am not a therapist or by any means a medical doctor. I will blog and respond to comments or questions based on my personal experience. What worked for me, may not work for you, but this is what blogging is about. After many, many years of helping friends and family through difficult times by sharing my experiences, my heart, and thoughts, I earnestly feel starting this blog could be a blessing to asone who may be going through something I am sharing. I encourage every woman reading this now to stand in the mirror and say this to yourself (inserting or excluding position or titles as it fits you). "I am not only a survivor, I am a warrior and lover of life. I am a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend...but first and foremost, I am a woman. I am strong, I am beautiful, I am here and present, I am alive, I am intelligent, I am important, and I will not let anyone else tell me differently with their words or actions." I look forward to getting to know all of you better through our interaction here.
