Jayla Henry, a content producer, was recording a baking video with her 4-year-old son, Braylon, when she recorded the loveliest moment.
Every time she view the video, it makes her weep again, Henry expresses.
Henry, 27, and Braylon are cooking Christmas cookies in the video, which has almost 6 million views on TikTok, when the small kid is filled with thankfulness.
Thank you, Mom, Braylon replies, wrapping his arms around his mom’s neck and kissing her on the face.
“I love you, Mommy,” he continues.
That’s when Henry starts crying. It’s the first time Braylon, who turned four in October, has said those words on his own.
@jaylabrenae5 It’s an even sweeter moment for me knowing I used to pray for the days my son could tell me he loved me due to him being speech delayed. I’m in awe right now😭❤️ #momlife #sahm #mommoments #sweetestboy #toddlertalk #beautifulmoments ♬ janes love song – Miya
At first, she thought, Did it just happen?'” “I was stunned,” Henry admits. He took her completely off surprise.
Braylon was diagnosed with a speech impairment when he was about 18 months old, according to Henry.
At that time, he wasn’t even babbling. He would just point at items, according to Henry. That’s when they understood there was something wrong.
Braylon qualified for early intervention programs in Michigan and started working with a speech-language pathologist. However, Henry claims that she and her husband, Anthony, “took up the job” when they moved to Dallas, Texas in September.
Braylon is a fighter, Henry says. He is never irritated. He’ll just keep repeating a term till it’s correct. He is a passionate student.
Other individuals, according to Henry, can now comprehend Braylon. She had to interpret for him until lately. Henry recalls a tiny child asking her less than a year ago, “Why does he talk so funny?”
She had a moment when she questioned whether it was her fault. Did she fall short? She was filled with remorse. And she understands there are other mothers who feel the same way she claims. That’s why she is being so forthright about his speech delay. They need to normalize talking about the imperfections in ones lives.
Since sharing the video on December 14, Henry has received a flood of responses from her 665,000 followers.
Henry has gone through all of the messages. She claims that several of them have moved her to tears.
The finest feeling is hearing that she has given somebody hope, Henry adds.
