If only we could look at life this way!!!
It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, 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 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 redressed his wound.
While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. I
asked him if he had a 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 Disease. As we
talked, and I finished dressing his wound, I asked if she would be
worried 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.
"The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the best of everything that comes along
their way."
"Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be."
