[align=center][align=center][align=left][align=center][align=left]:Here is the story .... told by a nurse
[align=center]
[/align]
It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman, in his 80's, came in 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

On examining his wounds I noticed it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and re-dress his wound. While taking care of his wound, we began talking
I asked him if he had a doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. He told me that he needed to go to the nursing ho! me! to eat breakfast with his wife. I then inquired about her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease (memory loss)

?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
I had to hold back tears when I heard his answer. He smiled as he patted my hand and said, "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is"

I realized that true love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, that has been, that will be, and that will not be[/align][/align][/align][/align][/align]
