THIS IS WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUT!
It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 a.m., when an elderly man arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. 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 man told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she had 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. With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there are some that come along that have an important message, and this is one of those.
THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE THE BEST OF EVERYTHING, THEY JUST MAKE THE BEST OF EVERYTHING THEY HAVE!
