True Love

> It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s > arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry > as he had an appointment at 9:00. > I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over > an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his > watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would > evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the > doctors and got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his > wound. > While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's > appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me > no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his > wife. > I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a > while as she is a victim of Alzheimer's disease. > As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He > replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized > him in five years now. > I was surprised and asked him, "And you still go every morning, even > though she doesn't know who you are?" > He smiled as he patted my hand and said, "She doesn't know me, but I still > know who she is." I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps > on my arm and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life." True > love is neither physical nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all > that is, has been, will be, and will not be. > Peace is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank. The happiest people > don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of > everything they have. > I hope you share this with someone you care about. I just did. > Life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain.
