Moving and Migraine
March 2nd 2009 11:57
I've just moved. They say home is where the heart is, and I lived there for almost 20 years, so of course there were mixed emotions.
I knew it was time. Yet as I was packing and the time to go came closer, the memories filled my thoughts. The first time I saw the house, it felt like home. How much my mother loved coming out there, as the yard was like our own park.
Holidays, family get togethers. The pets we had while living there who all brought us such happiness.
And of course in the background, chronic migraine pain going up and down. Aurahs I needed to ignore. Migraine playing with my moods. Taking my strength from me at times. What I used to be able to just breeze through took everything I had to keep going.
But I did it. Some days I paid for it, but I made it. I will always have a special place in my heart for my home. Nothing can take away my memories that I cherish.
Now, in our new home, there will be a new life, a new start. New memories and eventually, my heart will be here.
Sometimes even positive change is hard. With that special place in my heart I have for my precious home I just left, I have room for new memories for this new home. And some day, I can look back where my heart was for so long, and be happy for the years I had there. Grateful I had what so many never experience.
