I got through the anniversary that I thought I might not be able to handle. The year anniversary of God reaching out to Michael and taking him home.

This year of loss has taught me so much. I have lost friends, and gained others. I have gotten mad at God and also embraced Him. I know that he is catching my tears and my pain.

I know that I can get through this now. I had my doubts at times. Sometimes the pain was so intense, that I couldn’t breathe. Or so numbing, I couldn’t move.

As always, Molly is sitting on my lap. She is looking at me with her soulful eyes. I wonder what she is thinking? “Congratulations human. You have felt terrified, lost, abandoned and alone. Now, you are truly one of us?”

Truth is, I was never alone. God was with me every step, as were all of you. And for that. I am truly grateful.
