Glad to read this. The thing about not denying his presence reminded me of a picture book I loved as a kid, Conrad's Castle. A boy throws a stone up in the air, and it sticks there, so he throws another, and it sticks too, so he builds a castle in the air, and his friends are helping, and then someone comes along and says, "You can't do that!" and he says, "I can't?" And the whole thing falls down. And then, standing on the rubble, he says, "I can too!" and starts again.

I mean, I don't think you ever doubted, but your acceptance of the reality of his presence reminds me of Conrad's acceptance of his castle. Others may think it's impossible, but you, and he, know better.
