These past years I have experienced many joys, sorrows and the gentle hum of life continuing on.
With Mychaela's birthday being tomorrow, I am discovering that the lessons I've learned from the grief are a more integrated part of my life story.
In other words, Mychaela's death is not as much a singular event that has forever changed me, but now her spirit and her story is woven into my life journey. Her birth and death is becoming a part of my history and as such after five years, the loss is finally bearable.
I don't know how I'll feel when tomorrow comes, five years seems like an anniversary of some importance, it's as if the finality is finally my reality.
I appreciate all the love and support of my friends and family.
And Mychaela, I will always love you.
Mychaela Joelle Sloan, silently born on April 21, 2007
