What Could’ve Been… By D. Elizondo -- model, author, poet, Host of "THE REDZONE" on Positive Transitioning Radio
I should have a 10-year-old son right now... His name is D'Angelo Jordan Elizondo. Unfortunately, our pregnancy did not come to term- but he had a heartbeat. My heartbeat, a heartbeat that existed as a direct result of my heartbeat. I think about him all the time, and how he would've changed the entire trajectory of my life. First and foremost, his mother and I would’ve gotten married, so I would be married. I would be a successful entrepreneur and a small business owner. I would've never met my victim; she always said she would have never given me the time of day if I had a kid because she didn’t want “baby mama drama”. So, my son would have saved me from making the biggest mistake of my life. My son would have kept me out of my concrete tomb, and my son would've kept me from needing a second chance at life. 9
