A story on covenantal love

It was a busy morning, about 8.30am, 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 9.00am.

While taking care of his wound, I asked if he has had another doctor's appointment that morning, since he was in such a hurry. No, I was told. He had needed to go to the nursing home to have breakfast with his wife.

I inquired as to her health, and was told she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer 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 thought 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.'

True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been and will be (or will not be).
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have.

"Life is not about how to survive a storm, but how to dance in the rain."
