This is True Love.


What's true love....? This is true love.
This is A Beautiful Story....
It was a busy morning, about 9.30 am, when an elderly gentleman in his 80 arrived to have  his routine check up done . He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 10:00.
I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided since I wasn't busy with another patient, I would check his pressure and blood for diabetes. On examining  I found  it was normal, so I talked to one of the doctors and got the needed  prescription.
While attending to him 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 about her health. He told me that she had been there for a while! As she is 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 four 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 on my shoulder 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 and everyone longs for it. True love is neither physical nor romantic'.True love doesn’t have age or status
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
Peace is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have. If there’s this genre of true long lasting love prevails in the world there won’t be many single moms single dads or parentless children anywhere in the world.Peace and harmony will be ruling the the planet earth. This is a true story and related to me  by a friend.
I hope  my fans and readers will  share it with people you care about, I just did.. Life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain.
The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs.
But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a live wire called confidence, a driver called Almighty God, you will make it to a place called Success.

  1. Words Cannot Explain What True Love Is.
    Sometimes It Can Be One Sided.
