    More than one year ago, I suffered from a medical issue lasting for almost two months. I didn't share it with everyone because I thought it didn't sound so important, but as time has   progressed, I've come to realize it was so much more than that.

    On February 13, 2017, I was in my kitchen 1 dinner with my youngest son. 2 I felt a sharp pain in my head, and I was very dizzy, seeing 3. I could see the concern in my son's eyes as he asked me to rest on the sofa while he finished cooking dinner.

    As I lay there, I acted as if I was OK but 4 it got worse. This headache along with other symptoms continued non-stop for the next seven weeks. 5 countless doctor and specialist appointments, and tons of medicines, the pain remained.

    Both doctors and several radiologists were 6. I'm a believer of God and I always have been, 7 sadly I was losing hope and I felt as if my faith was being tested this time. The emotional suffering began to affect my spirit.

    Thankfully I continued to pray and be grateful that I was fortunate to have medical care. So many people have no money for 8 and suffer daily. After 48 long days of 9 and going to bed with an extreme headache, my answer and healing finally came through a wonderful doctor and physical therapist.

    To God goes the glory!

    Looking 10 I feel so grateful for all the love everyone gave. I have so many considerate friends, caring coworkers, 11 a very loving and sweet husband and three amazing kids that show me every day how much I 12 to them.

    My mind went to so many places during this uncertain time and I was reminded that life is so fragile. Nowadays as challenging as it may be, I'm trying to 13 each day as if it were my last, remaining 14 and happy. I'll continue to be thankful and give back whenever and as much as I can. I 15 you to do the same.
