A TRUE LOVE ..STORY

[mir55]

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 examining,I saw that it was well healed, so I talked to one of the
doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his stitches 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 therefor 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.’

Moral:

True love is neither physical, nor romantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is,
has been, will be, and will not be.

Can a relevant question be answered here?
At what juncture in life can you recognise the presence of true love?
The couple here has already invested the capital of a lifetime into their relationship.
Hence the husband acknowledges his love to the world.
Also, his daily visit to his oblivious wife establishes the confident updation of his love.
That is why ideal love has an element of happiness despite the prevailing sadness.
To affirm true love or be inspired by the moral of this story is relevant for those who can establish similar parallels in their life.
If you feel that true love need not necessarily be a long journey, how would you affirm it?

May I call your attention to an overlooked fact.
Ideal love is always true but true love may not always be ideal.
The person with whom you spend quality time, with whom you share a beautiful live-in relationship and who gives you fulfilled happiness
may not be your ideal match but is certainly your true love.

If you say,s Ideal love is always true but true love may not be ideal.
do you mean an ideal personalty concept.where as a love is always true in a relation ship,if it is mother,s love or wife and husband.

[maahi]

A relationship like that of a mother's love, husband n wife's etc is already established by worldly standards, hence thought to be ideal in themselves, notwithstanding the exception of abuse even in such relationships. The moot point here is to examine relationships that are free of benchmarks. Only then can be classify them as ideal or true.
