my mummy show me a short story of a lovely and touching love story. here read it... and you, yourself justify whether it is loveloy or just plain lame...
It was a busy morning about 8.30 when an elderly gentlemen in his 80's arrived to have his stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9.00a.m.
i took his vital signs and asked him to take a seat, knowing it would be an hour before someone would be able to see him. i saw him looking at his watch,and decided that since i was not busy with another patient, i would evaluate or check his wound.
on examining it, i found it well healed. one of the docters 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 docters's appoiintment this morning as he was such in a hurry.
The gentlemen told me he did not have any other doctor's appointment. he told me he needed to go to the nursing home to have breakfast with his wife. when i asked her health, he told me that she had been there for a while. 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. she had not recognised him for five years now.
I was very surprised so i asked, "And you still visit her every morning even though she no longer remember who you are."
He smiled as he patted my hand and said, " She doesn't know me, but i still know who is she."
personally, to me, this story is very touching. it's like even though the wife doesn't remembers him, he is very sincere to visit her every morning. a true sweet and charming man.
i guess, this is what loves means truly...
