Description
Book Introduction
“Blooming from the end of tears,
“A Miraculous Growth Story of a Child and His Mother”
“The most ordinary life
That it could be the most distant dream,
I first realized this when I became a mother.”
It's not a story about disability and care
The story of two people who raised each other
The joy of pregnancy soon turned to tears.
A high-risk Down syndrome diagnosis, a cleft lip diagnosis, and the word autism.
Even though the world seemed to be falling apart, the author did not give up on the child.
Even in fear, I learned love through the eyes of a child, and I strengthened myself through times of suffering.
"I Became an Adult Holding You" is a coming-of-age story of a mother living with her autistic son, and a story of a person who found hope in differences.
This book is not just a simple parenting book.
This is the story of a woman who dreamed of an ordinary life, and her journey to becoming a true adult while holding a special child in her arms.
Despite burnout, prejudice, and the world's gaze, the author learns the true meaning of love through her child.
It shows the 'courage of relationship' that blooms from wounds by slowing down one's own pace to match the child's slow growth.
The book conveys the message that “different is not wrong” through specific scenes from everyday life.
The confession that a child learns about the world through a single laugh, the realization that "words wound deeper than arrows," and the belief that "a change in parents changes a child" firmly capture the reader's heart.
Ultimately, this book is more than just a mother's record; it is a narrative of human growth and learning to love again.
The comfort that it's okay to be unusual, another miracle created by differences, gently blossoms within this book.

Publisher's Review
“Crying and love bloom together on one page.”
A 12-year journey of holding a child and fighting the world
The Language of Love Relearned After a Breakdown
Sadness comes silently
The pregnancy that started with joy soon turned into tears.
I had to accept the words 'cleft lip' and 'autism' before I could even call my child's name, and that's when I finally realized.
That the sorrows of life always come quietly, in the face of the most beloved.
When life pushes me away
Life pushed me in an unexpected direction.
Despite the conflict with her in-laws, her deteriorating health, and her unstable relationship, she couldn't cry in front of her child.
As life pushed me further, I could never let go of holding my child's hand.
Rise again with you
As my child grew slowly, it was also a time for me to relearn my life.
As I taught my child, who struggled with language, about emotions, I also learned the language of love again.
Falling together and rising together, we grew up in each other's world.
We have become stronger through shaking
In the days of endless turmoil, we learned the strength to endure 'difference' and gained the courage to embrace 'specialness'.
We learned how to become stronger by proving our existence through each other's eyes, not through someone else's gaze.
Eventually we bloom
After countless nights of tears and days of perseverance, our days are slowly regaining their light.
The pain still hasn't completely gone away, but after all that time, I finally realized.
Ultimately, we exist to blossom, and love is the force that sustains us through all that time.
