I was wondering what love means to you. I opened my E-Mail and there was one example of one of the qualities of What True Love is to Me.
Live with laughter and love with all your heart.......
The Rain
Author Unknown
It was a busy
morning, about 8:30, when an elderly
gentleman in his 80's arrived to have
stitches removed from his thumb.
He said 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, 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 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 is one that comes along that message,
this one I thought I would share with you.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the best of everything they have.
I hope you share this with someone you care about.
I just did.. YOU.

Wondering about your Valentine?
