Yesterday, I was moved by someone who came in to see me for an appointment in such a profound way. On days like those, there is a part of me inside that becomes so ignited that I can barely take the feeling–but, in a good way. I was touched so deeply.
She came in recounting her symptom changes and as she moved through her story and the sequence of events, she recounted the effect that her improvments have had on her mother and on her child. And how, the improvment in the quality of her life has enabled her to be a better wife, person, mother, and daughter. She went on to tell me all of the things that were filling up her life. And, that she no longer needed to spend time on the computer because she was out doing things with the renewal of her old self. As she did this, the tears welled up in her eyes and her crying was like a below from deep within–a place that you only reach with the sincerity of such feelings. And, I was so moved, my own eyes welled up as well. I know that feeling well. I thought to myself, I am so happy to be alive today. I am so happy to be any part of this.
