True Love – Very Inspiring story

By on May 27, 2010 in Moral, Motivation, Reality
 

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.

    An achievement certainly built over the years and nurtured through selflessness, patience, understanding, mutual respect and support. A feat, so difficult to attain save the few lucky ones. How I wish for everyone to feel the same. Best wishes.

    my grandma had the same desise and my grandfather never let her go any where he used to take care of her till her death…..

    LIKE YOUR SUMMARY IN THE FINAL PARAGRAPH.MAY YOUR WISH BE FULFILED SARA,BUT NOTE THE AGE OF THE OLD GENTLEMAN (80Yrs).THAT AFFECTION MUST HAVE BEEN BUILT OVER A LONG PERIOD THOUGH DONT KNOW YOUR AGE SARA.REMAIN HAPPY AND CHEERS.
