A Mother's Gift from Heaven
A young girl and the suffering from migraines is a pain not wished upon the worst of enemies. It starts with a dull throbbing and then sensitivity to light or sound, then the pain begins to throb as if someone is stabbing from the inside out. At times, medication will help but most of the time, it's trying to get to the doctor's office before the throwing up starts to get a shot that will knock you and the headache out.
Suffering for many years can take a toll on anyone. It drains you to the core. You can't eat or function for days after. Most times, you have to change your diet or things that may trigger the pain.. i.e. smoke, dust...
One mother suffered that same pain, as she was ill and dying stated to her daughter that she knew how bad the suffering was and if she could, she would take those migraine headaches away. This young woman knew of what she spoke and stated that she knew she would if she could and that she had watched her mom, more times than she could count in the doctor's office or emergency room getting those shots which kept her in bed for days after. How much this mom knew and prayed she could help.
In 1999, mid year, this mom passed away after her long battle with cancer and still her daughter suffered, not only from missing her mother but, also from those painful migraines. They seemed to be more intense and more debilitating and with more trial runs with different medicines to see what would help.
Days became weeks and weeks into months and then right about the time of her mother's birthday, just days after her own. She wished her mother a Happy Birthday in Heaven and started to cry over the loss. All of a sudden, a hand touched her shoulder from behind and she looks slightly over her shoulder and says......... "I love you to Mom, Happy Birthday and I miss you so much". The tears became less and instead of pain and sorrow, it was a sense of peace. Peace not seen in a very long time.
Again, days after and weeks turned into months and then back to the doctor for a check-up, he asks how are things going and how are the meds going.. Not taking them and before you start a lecture, my headaches are gone. This doctor looks in amazement and then as in disbelief but states this is a good thing and says the meds are there when and if you need them.
I can tell you this is a true story......... This young woman is me and my mother. I didn't know it at the time but after "not" having the headaches for a time, I came to realize it was a Mother's Gift from Heaven.
