Old Man Love
Once in the morning, an elderly gentleman was in the hospital. He came to get his stitches removed from his thumb.
A nurse came to attend to him. The nurse checked his vitals and told him to wait as it would be over an hour before the doctor would be able to see him. While attending old man nurse noticed that he seemed to be in a hurry.
So the nurse told him to wait but the old man asked him to hurry if possible. Seeing this nurse thought that she would evaluate his wounds and if possible would take care of it instead of making him wait.
On examination nurse found that the wounds were healed, so the nurse went to get supplies and came back to the old man and started redressing his wound.
As they started talking nurse asked him, “Do you have any doctor’s appointments as you seem to be in a hurry..?”
The old man replied, “No, I need to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with my wife.”
The nurse then asked about his wife and came to know that she had been living in the nursing home for a while and was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
As the nurse finished dressing she said, “Would she worry if you get there a bit late??”
The old man replied, “No. She no longer remembers who I am and has not recognized him in the last five years..”
The nurse was surprised and said, “She doesn’t recognize you yet you go to have breakfast with her every morning?? Why??”
The old man smiled and replied, “She doesn’t know me but I still know who she is..”
Moral of the story
For a Person in Love time, place, or health nothing matters. What matters is love and care for his/her Partner despite facing any kind of difficulties.
