A sweet story for you. If you’ve been watching my stories, you know that my migraines have picked up lately. Often before I get one I’ll get an aura, which usually involves my vision going wonky in one or both eyes. It’s super weird. Sometimes I see sparkles, sometimes everything goes gray. It starts out as a speck then grows to fill the visual field of the whole eye. Auras usually last about 20 min for me, and are followed by the migraine. Last night, my 9 yr old son & I were at a store last minute shopping for items for one of his school projects when I got an aura out of the blue. I warned him that we needed to hurry because I was probably going to get a migraine, and also that my vision was a little blurry. 😅😬 He sweetly said not to worry & that he would help me and took my hand. 🥹 We rushed into Hobby Lobby to get the last few things (I still had one fully working eye 😅) and as we were walking through the store the aura ended & I exclaimed, “Oh good! My eye is back!” My cute boy responded, “Just in time to see the flowers!” And sure enough, at that exact moment we were passing the floral aisles. Yesterday I smiled at that, but today as I was in bed recovering and thinking over the whole thing—the hand hold, the empathy, the fact that he knows I love flowers and that would cheer me up—whole streams of tears poured down my face just for the love of him. 🌸💗
