THIS IS WHAT LOVE IS ALL ABOUTIt 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.
