Blessings and greetings,1
It was related that you are suffering from headaches, Heaven forbid. According to [your] request [for a blessing], I mentioned you for good and for blessing at the gravesite of my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, הכ"מ. It is certain that my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, הכ"מ, blessed you that you will be healed and that you will have a long life.
The Sages of blessed memory interpret2 the Torah’s words:3 “and he shall provide for healing,” as indicating that the Torah has granted doctors the potential to heal the sick, because G‑d wants the world to follow the natural order. One must know, however, that it is G‑d Who controls the world. He wants Jews to receive goodness and He grants them goodness. In particular, may He grant you a long life, that you derive satisfaction from all your children and grandchildren; Jewish satisfaction and chassidishe satisfaction.
With blessing,
Menachem Schneerson
