After a year in remmission I've re-thought a few things:
Things I had forgotten:
-how quiet the house can be in the early hours of the morning
-how fresh and clean the city smells during a 2 am walk
-the funny noises kids make while sleeping at 3 am
-how beautiful the sunrise is at 5:30 am.
Things I wish I could forget:
-the awful look on my daughter's face when she sees me during an attack
-discovering my son crying in bed, awakened by me downstairs
-how short tempered I can get with my wife after a week of this
-the dread of going to sleep knowing I will likely wake very soon.
Things I will never forget:
-how much I hate these damn things we call cluster headaches.
-they will stop, even if just for a while.
Lets all get some sleep tonight.
