WHAT'S LOVE IS ALL ABOUT

wonderful(:

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 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 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.


cinta adalah semua tentang itu pagi yang sibuk, sekitar 8: 30 pagi, ketika seorang pria tua di 80′s nya, tiba untuk memiliki jahitan dihapus dari ibu jari. Ia menyatakan bahwa ia terburu-buru karena ia janji pada 9: 00 am. Aku mengambil tanda vital dan telah dia mengambil kursi, mengetahui akan lebih dari satu jam sebelum seseorang akan dapat melihatnya. Aku melihat dia melihat tangannya dan memutuskan, karena aku sedang tidak sibuk dengan pasien lain, aku akan mengevaluasi nya luka. Pada ujian itu baik disembuhkan, jadi saya berbicara dengan salah satu dokter, mendapat persediaan yang diperlukan untuk menghapus jahitan nya dan memperbaiki luka nya.

Sementara merawat luka nya, kami mulai terlibat dalam percakapan saya bertanya apakah ia punya janji dengan dokter pagi ini, ketika ia terburu-buru. Pria mengatakan kepada saya tidak ada, bahwa ia harus pergi ke panti jompo makan sarapan dengan istrinya. Saya kemudian bertanya kesehatannya. Dia mengatakan kepada saya bahwa ia telah ada untuk sementara waktu dan bahwa ia seorang korban penyakit Alzheimer.

Sebagai kita berbicara, dan aku selesai berpakaian luka nya, saya bertanya apakah ia akan khawatir jika ia agak terlambat. Dia menjawab bahwa ia tidak tahu siapa dia, yang dia telah tidak diakui dia dalam lima tahun sekarang. Saya terkejut, dan bertanya kepadanya. "Dan Anda masih pergi setiap pagi, meskipun dia tidak tahu siapa Anda?" Dia tersenyum karena dia menepuk tanganku dan berkata. "Dia tidak tahu saya, tapi aku masih tahu siapa dia."

Aku harus menahan air mata ketika ia meninggalkan saya punya merinding di lengan saya, dan berpikir, "Itu adalah jenis cinta yang saya inginkan dalam hidup saya."


♥ Cinta sejati fisik, maupun romantis. Cinta sejati adalah penerimaan dari semua yang, telah, akan, dan tidak akan. Paling bahagia orang tidak perlu memiliki yang terbaik dari semuanya; mereka hanya membuat yang terbaik dari segala sesuatu yang datang jalan mereka.
