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 be 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.
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 hurry. The gentleman told me no and 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 this 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. Peace is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank.
MAY TRUE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ALWAYS RUN FREE ON THE WIND.
Heavy rain reminds us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighter rain. Just pray for a better umbrella. That is attitude.
When flood comes, fish eat ants and when flood recedes, ants eat fish. Only time matters. Just hold on, God gives opportunity to everyone!
Life is not about finding the right person but creating the right relationship, it's not how we care in the beginning but how much we care till the very end.
Some people always throw stones in your path. It depends on what you make with them. A Wall or a Bridge? Remember you are the architect of your life.
Search for a beautiful heart but don't search for a beautiful face coz beautiful things are not always good but good things are always beautiful.
It’s not important to hold all the good cards in life. But it’s important how well you play with the cards you hold.
Often when we lose all hope & think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, "Relax dear it’s just a bend, not the end." Have faith and have a successful life.
One of the basic differences between God and humans is, God gives, gives and forgives. But the human gets, gets, gets and forgets. Be thankful in life.
You can choose to adopt a negative attitude towards almost every aspect of life or you can choose to make each day positive. If you really desire to be a success in any area, a positive attitude is one of the main keys to keep you moving in the right direction. Do not let anyone choose how you should see the world or how you live each day.
