The Many Faces of Pain - Part 3

I have lived through this pain and agony and even though my family and others may not understand the severity of the pain, I would not wish this pain on none of them, not even for one day. First of all, they could not withstand this pain for 24 hours. I would not wish this pain on my worst enemy or any living creature.

These faces of pain are real. I have lived through this disability which has turned into heartache because of the vibrate person I once was. Every day I pray…”why me oh Lord”? But I always hear there is someone worse off than me…so why not me? (This is what my niece with MS says to her mother all the time.)

The real faces of pain are no joke. I never look at a person, the outward cover, and judge that person as to whether they have pain or not. Pain is just like HATE….can you see hate in someone’s heart. No, you cannot, but nonetheless hate lingers there. So do not judge a person from what you see on the outside because you do not really know what is going on in the inside!

I believe that there is a reason for everything. As God said, “It rains on the just as well as the unjust.” I have debilitating back pain and this is my lot in life. I don’t want this, but I have it. I am here though and I am not going away. I get up each day and I fight and fight and fight this pain. Sometimes I think the pain is winning but then, I refuse to give in. Pain, you cannot take my life. I want my life and I will continue to do whatever it takes to stay alive.
