Waht is love all about????

THIS IS WHAT 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 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, 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.

Oh, by the way, 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.
Please share this with someone you care about
