'I Still Know Who She Is'
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00.
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 evaluate his wound. On examining it I saw it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors and 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 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 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 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.
True love is neither physical nor romantic'.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

Dear Ghazalz, thats not true in anyway............and beside this see the story is posted my Women, Ooops i mean Girl.........and its about Man's Love...............
But it's in women’s nature and they are practicing devoted love and care in real life with their hubbies and kiddies without seeking any reward!
Such a touching story of a man's true love...
forever alone !
How Touching Story................but believe me or not, when we are ready to be like one, we will have one,
good heart touching story .
and rare to find such love. People can be so fickle and self absorbed that makes true love and devotion not something we see too often. TFS Metoyou!
LOVELY
