My Dear Rishi,
It has been close to 4 weeks since I have talked to you love, yesterday I called you many times and the phone was disconnected after you said hello. I will always always love you...hope we can talk again someday. Love you Rishi..
A friend of mine shared an interesting story with me and I thought this would be a good one for you. Read for yourself, this is a lesson we all can learn to treat our loved ones.
It was busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. 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 was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On examination, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, 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 and that she was 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….For those whom you loved once louldly, you will always continue loving them silently in your prayers and in your kind actions even if they are no longer in your life.
Moral: The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have. 'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain…..'
I love you Rishi, miss you so much...I really cannot even express in words, words just fail...Let us both learn to dance in the rain of our lives and survive many storms so that one day we can meet be together as long as life's journey takes us together...
Love you, miss you..
