This is what True Love is all about:


It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 a.m., when
an elderly gentleman in his 80's, 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.



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 look 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, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures
and redress his wound.


While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in
conversation. 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 then inquired as to her health. He told me that she
had been there for a while and that she was 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.


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 kind. Just
had to share it with you all.
