PURPOSE OF LOVING !!!!

The Kind We All Want
==============================

It was about 8:30 AM on a busy morning when an elderly gentleman
in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.

He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at
9:00. I took his vital signs and had him to 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. After examining
him, I could see the wound was well healed, so I talked to one of
the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his stitches,
and redressed his wound.

While taking care of his wound, we began to talk. I asked if he
had a doctor's appointment this morning as he was in such a hurry.

He told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat
breakfast with his wife.

I then inquired about her health. He told me that she had been
there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's.

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. He continued saying that she had not
recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised and questioned him, "And you are still going
every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?"

He smiled as he patted my hand and answered,
"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's 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.
