True Love

Baca dari FunLok. Memang aku akui.... kadang-kadang, kita tidak sedar semua ini. Apa yang aku harapkan ialah adanya seseorang yang dapat memberi/sedekah Al-Fatihah buat jasad kita kelak...., Insya-Allah

This is what True Love is all about:

It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 a.m., 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 look 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 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 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' 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 are some that come along that have an important
message, and this is one of those kind. Just had to share it with you all.
