Dance in the Rain

The Rain

 

 

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his

 

80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.   He said 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, 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 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.


 

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

they just make the best of everything they have.

 

 

 

'Life isn't about 

 

how to survive the storm,

 

But how to dance in the rain.'
