It was a busy morning,about 8:30,when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to
the hospital.I saw him (1) his watch and told
the nurse that he was in a hurry for an
appointment at 9:30.I decided,
since I was not busy,my patient didn’t (2) at
the appointed hour,I would examine his wound.
Meanwhile,the gentleman
told me that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife
and that she had a special disease.I asked if she would be
worried if
he was a bit late.He replied that she (3)
knew who he was,that she had not been able to recognize him for five years now.
I was moved,and asked him,“And
you still go every morning,even though
she doesn’t know who you are?”
He smiled and said.“She doesn’t know me
but I know who she is.” Now I realize that in marriages true love is acceptance
of all,that the happiest people don’t (4)
have the best of everything; they just (5) the best of everything they have.Life isn’t about
how to live through the storm,but how to dance in the
rain.
