Last night was my nephew's chorus Christmas Concert. Since the IVIG Treatment wiped me out this past week I was still hurting yesterday. It was still hard for me to walk yesterday so I showed up in my wheelchair. After the performance my niece asked if I was going to have this "cold" forever and when I told her yes she made a really sad face. It broke my heart. The rest of the night I couldn't help but think "what is going through her head?". I'm living through it so my perspective is completely different and I feel selfish because I haven't considered anyone else's. She is six years old. I lived with my sister for a year and she was used to me being normal and now I am too fragile for her to even touch my arm or leg.
When I was in the hospital they had my IV through my jugular. When they gave me morphine I would tell everyone I was a superhero in training. And maybe in a sense I was. They were giving me medicine to make me better. I haven't seen the beautiful or kindness in anything for a while. I was so drained and negative on everything because I was always hurting and tired. Maybe now I will be able to see the beautiful and kindness in everything. Maybe that is God's purpose of putting me through this pain. Maybe I am chosen for this task. But it wouldn't be a task once I fully understand life. There is a reason why I am going through this. I can't change the world, but maybe I can help change or guide the people around me to see the beauty in everything that life and this world has to offer.
I'm so glad to see you looking at things differently, if even for a moment. These moments will become more and more frequent.
