Do you believe in true love?
Yes, I pretty much do.
Recently, I came across reading this very touching story of a nurse and its patient. It caught my attention and have decided that this story is by far the greatest definition of love I have ever encountered.
A nurse recounted: “While taking care of my patient’s wound, we began talking, and he told me that he needed to visit the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. She had been there for a while, a victim of Alzheimer’s disease. I asked him if his wife would be worried if he was a bit late, whereupon he replied that due to her loss of memory she no longer knew who he was, nor had she recognized him in five years. I was surprised and asked him: ‘And you still go every morning?’ I had to hold back tears when he smiled, patted my hand and said: ‘She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.’ I realized that true love is neither physical nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, that has been, that will or even will not be.” <3
