Today is my aunts
birthday.
Most of you are thinking, "so what?"
Well, this birthday was different and she got the greatest gift
she could ask for.
My aunt suffers from epilepsy.
She had been on a new medication and hadn't had a seizure for
seven years.
That all changed four days ago.
She was in Puerto Rico on vacation with her cousins and she had a
seizure.
She hit her head badly and lost her speech.
She went to see a doctor and they didn't know when, or
if she would get her speech back.
This morning, her birthday, she woke up and her speech was
back.
I called her to sing her happy birthday, and she thanked
me.
At the time, I didn't know if she could say
anything.
I cried as she spoke some scattered words.
Her speech is back, not perfect, but back.
This gives me hope.
True Story :)
