Once they start talking

 “Once they start talking you’ll wish they’d be quiet”

No. I’ll never feel that way.

I waited so long to hear my child’s voice.
I spent months wondering if something was wrong.
I questioned myself.
I questioned everything.

We went through evaluations
Therapies
Sleepless nights filled with silent tears
And all I wanted
Was to hear their words

Speech delays don’t just test your patience
They break your heart in ways you didn’t know it could break

Imagine trying to express yourself
But having no way to get it out
Imagine being constantly misunderstood
Imagine people calling you spoiled or bad
When you’re just frustrated and scared
And trying to be seen

So no
I’ll never wish for silence
I’ll never take their voice for granted
Every word
Every sound
Every sentence
Is a miracle to me

If you’re in this season
You are not alone
And when that voice finally comes
It will be the most beautiful sound you’ve ever heard
