Chapter 1

As I am sitting here, looking at Michael sleeping, I’m thinking about all the craziness going on in the world right now, with this coronavirus. We are being quarantined. Michael has been off of school for twenty days now. I am not sure how I am getting through this time without a break myself. Michael is so demanding. These days are so long. His anxiety has been so much worse. He is upset if a car passes by, with the music on too loud. He gets upset if a car passes by, period. He gets upset if he sees a fly or a mosquito. He is afraid of them or any other bug or insect. All of it leads to him repeatedly saying, No more flies, or No more cars, or No more music. It’s an all-day thing. He will repeat it until I tell him, It’s okay, no more fly, or No more bug. If I just say, It’s okay, that is not good enough for him. He will continue to say it until I do. Even when I do say it, he will bring it up again minutes later. I wonder, How am I doing this and not go crazy?! Then I would realize, God is getting me through this. God is getting us through this . God has always been there for me in my time of need. When I need strength, courage, guidance, patience, mercy, God is always there for me.

For years, I have felt the need to share my story, mainly my son’s story. I think now is definitely the time to write it. So here it is.

I think back to when I first found out I was pregnant with Michael. I was not planning on having any more children. I already had four children with my ex-husband. Their father and I separated when our youngest, Angel, was only five months old. The others were two, five, and seven. I was a single mom, with sole custody of four young children.

I met Mike a few months after we separated. The last thing on my mind was having another child. I also didn’t have time for a relationship. Michael’s dad and I dated for a while. Then we didn’t see each other for a few months. We were not in a serious relationship. When I found out I was pregnant, I was shocked. I had gotten the birth control shot and thought it was supposed to be pretty effective. I was so scared. I didn’t know how Mike would feel about me being pregnant. After all, we weren’t an actual couple at that time. We had been seeing each other off and on for about a year. When I told him I was pregnant, I told him I was going to have the baby. It would not be easy, but I would raise the child with or without his help. I already had four children, what’s one more child? was the way I looked at it. Mike did not take the news well. He was not happy as I expected him to be. He took time to take it all in and think about it. After doing so, Mike decided he wanted to be with me and the baby. He wanted us to be a family. He stepped up and took on the role of stepdad to my kids. Also, on the day I gave birth to Michael, we found out Mike had another son who was four years old—Mikey’s brother, Keaton. So Mikey went from no kids to six kids. That was amazing. My kid’s father was not around at that time. He was living out of state. We had not seen him in a while. Mike and I weren’t planning on having a child, but God had other plans for us. God blessed us, and now, I couldn’t imagine my life without Michael. I feel all children are a blessing from God, and God does not make mistakes.

I have always had faith. However, my faith would be tested, like never before, with Michael. When I was four months in to the pregnancy, I started cramping and spotting. I went to the doctor to be checked. The baby was okay, but I was put on bed rest for a few days. After that, everything was good. Life went on as usual.
