My Memories Live
Without A Voice
A heartfelt memoir of love, resilience, and life through the eyes of a non-verbal autistic child.
Meet Angel Gydesen The Story
As a little girl I never dreamed of getting married or having kids. I was more focused on trying to survive life as one of the youngest of 8. I don’t ever want to speak ill of my family, but they didn’t make my life easy. I would tell myself, if I have kids, I don’t want them to have a hard life like I did. Since then, I’ve been married twice and divorced twice, with 2 boys and ended up being a single mom. I may not have dreamed of getting married or having kids, but I didn’t anticipate the life I ended up with. Being in survival mode as a kid I was only thinking about how to make it through the day and not much room to think about the future.
I blinked and I graduated from high school and had no plans for my future. I was enrolled in college but flunked out due to partying too much.
A Story Told From A
Mother’s Heart
When I was a little girl, I didn’t have a voice. Back then, kids were to be seen and not heard, and this was especially because I was a girl. After I endured so much trauma I finally said enough was enough and made it my mission to always have a voice, and I did this by standing up for myself, my younger brother, and others in need of being stood up for. I became a strong advocate for myself, and others, and never tolerated mean people. I never anticipated on birthing a child without a voice, and I believe because of my strength God sent my son Bently to me. Bently has endured difficult times when I haven’t been around, such as, at school. It’s my job as his mom to keep him safe and advocate for him.
