Migraine

For taking the extra step
For not knowing what exactly is "right" and asking.
For Caring enough to love total strangers
For knowing that it's "not about you," but that sure doesn't make it easier- or any "less about you" than it was before.

For not complaining
For loving us just how we are
For sticking up for us
For standing up for us
For telling a coworker "She doesn't have headaches like you or me."

For a hug at the right time
For the tears wiped away
For knowing that the pain will end and forcing us to believe that you're right.

For sitting in the ER
(Or whereever your personal least favorite medical places are)
For putting up with the medical bills, and other financial ills
For just being there
For loving us enough to care.

I thank you.
Over and over again.

For once is never enough to hear those words- often left quite unsaid, despite the best of relationships and rocky shoals.

For making me realize that saying "Thank you" should be one of my everyday goals.

Honey- if you're out there reading this:
I love you- and Thank You.

Thank you Jamie

Thanks, Bob.

I realized how many folks we have around here who are involved in the lives of a a migraineur ... and are here because they want to give them nothing but the best.

They deserve nothing less than to be recognized as the heroes that they are.

So, if you fall into this category, You Rock! Thanks for everything, to my migraine heroes!

Now you go hitting that This Is So Beautiful It's About To Make Me Start Misting Up nerve. See how you are?

Seriously, this is fabulous, and thank you so much for posting and sharing it with us.

Thanks for sharing this, Jamie!

love and hugs,

Thanks all for the feedback. I got teary reading the responses.

Thanks for sharing the love.

I the first time, and now, I again.

Thanks Jamie...I thought this deserved a thanks for the many times I read it......

Gosh. I forgot all about this, Laura.

I'm so glad I could write something worthy of being remembered and re-read many times. I'm totally humbled, and I thank you for giving me the gift of knowing that my words could touch someone...

Jamie-I was down with the beast for the last several days and just now getting to my emails.

When I read this, DH was on his 'puter so I read it to him as my way of saying thanks to him (things here have been a bit rocky between us because of these rotten brain cramps to say the least but this is not the time nor the place to get into all that....)

This deserves to be read aloud to all of those who stand beside us, who understand us and to those who care for us.

Again, my heartfelt thanks to you!
