I appreciated your sharing your struggles. And if you hadn't, I couldn't appreciate how wonderful it is to hear YOU and your voice "coming back". Does that make sense? Almost 9 months ago, when we lost Seth, I went through one of the darkest times of my life.. and I can't put my finger on tangible "good" that has come from it, but I CAN say that I KNOW my Jesus loves me, Many days in the aftermath, I just TOLD myself: God is good, He loves me, He is enough. Even when I didn't FEEL it, I KNEW it to be Truth. Right now, I can feel it again. I hope you're feeling how much God loves you. He is GOOD and HE is enough!

It echoes my heartache right now... Even though I was born in the mid eighties, I remember Michael Jackson was the soundtrack to every kid's childhood from my school... and also, every parent's nightmare! Like you, I never imagined that the news of his death would move me so deeply. I liked his music, but was not a fan particularly. And it bothers me now to remember that I had always thought him wierd for deliberately looking like a white woman when he was not one. Its sad that he had to die for me to realize the true brilliance of this compassionate man. It took these many years to notice that he was not a freak, but rather he had a smile that could light up an entire galaxy! May God have mercy on you, Michael, and grant you in death what you worked so hard for... that elusive thing in your life... PEACE! Brilliantly worded piece, Jess!
