Today, thirteen years ago, my life changed. My oldest son, Micheal’s, life began the journey of ending. I was in the hospital around this time, trying to figure out how I could breathe while he was on a ventilator, being assisted in his own breathing. I miss my son and often wonder how life would be with him here with us.

The journey from that day until now has not been easy.
My God, it has not. However, God has been faithful, just, and a restorer of my broken heart and spirit.

I did something I never thought I would do over these past thirteen years—I preached! I never thought I would do that again after my loss. But I did!

Today was different because this day had always been set aside as a day to mourn. Not today!
The Holy Ghost walked with me and became everything I needed to complete the assignment on my life.
To Preach the word.

There is life and purpose after loss. Life doesn’t have to stop where loss happens.
God wants to use us if we are open to healing and allow Him to repair the breaches.
Thank you, God, for new grace.

I remember the first time I heard a mother cry over the loss of her child.

I woke up in the middle of the night to screams and hollering outside of my bedroom window. I went to the window and saw eight adults, several of them were picking up a woman from the ground. As they lifted her up, she had a scream and a holler that seemed like it came from a pit far away. I looked down the street and there were sirens, flashing lights, police, yellow tape and a sheet covering a young man on the ground.

I understood the cry when I heard it and my heart felt great sorrow of what that must be like. Unbeknownst to me I unfortunately would have to find out what pit that cry comes from. Dec. 8, 2012 Michael my son was killed.

So, this post is from a real place that I wish no one has to experience. The pit this cry comes from is undescribable yet has become so many’s reality. The streets of Milwaukee has far to many pit crying mothers since this memory. I pray the healing that only Jesus can supply be upon them all.❤️❤️
