True love


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.

The greatest pain in life

is not to die, but to be ignored.

To lose the person you love so

much to another who doesn't care at all.

To have someone you care so about so much throw a party...

and not tell you about it.

When your favorite person on earth

neglects to invite you to his graduation.

To have people think that you don't care.

The greatest pain in life,

is not to die,

but to be forgotten.

To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.

To never get a call from a friend,

just saying "hi".

When you show someone your innermost thoughts and they laugh in your face.

For friends to always be too busy to console you when you need someone to

lift your spirits.

When it seems like the only person who cares about you,

is you.

Life is full of pain,

but does it ever get better?

Will people ever care about each other,

and make time for those who are in need?

Each of us has a part to play

in this great show we call life.

Each of us has a duty to mankind

to tell our friends we love them.

If you do not care about your friends

you will not be punished.

You will simply be ignored...

forgotten...

as you have done to others.

A young girl who committed suicide some years ago wrote this poem.

Please show someone you care for them today. It takes so little of your time

to smile, give a hug, a word of encouragement or just to say "I care" You

will be rewarded for sure



Love



I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love.




" This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.





This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love ... They try to posses it, they demand, they expect ... And just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free,



You can not change its nature.


If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.


Give and don't expect.


Advise, but don't order.


Ask, but never demand.


It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice.


It is the secret to true love.To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."


Passing thought ... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but by the moments that take our breath away.
