It was a 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 to 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 exam, 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.
With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message.. This one I thought I could share with you.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
I hope you share this with someone you care about. I just did.
'Life isn't about how to survive the storm,
But how to dance in the rain.'

Tomorrow may be our turn.
Enjoy life now-it has an expiration date!
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up -- that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

From CNY eve to CNY day 2
Hi, I've been missing for sometimes for my blogging but tonite i choose blog again with a bottle of Kampai and a glass of chinese tea. I wish that someday i don't have to think so much of things, as we grew older things changed either from good to bad or bad to good, The reunion chinese new year eve I've bring my mom back, of course that will be my happiest day ever, since i think long time i never bring my mom back home ya i meant back to our home for the reunion dinner there is happy, sad, sweet and bitter in these few days.
First of course there are happy things ever that i can bring my mom back for the reunion dinner and the sad thing is my sis is not around for this reunion dinner but anyway life still go on, just look at my mom each year she getting weak and weaker, i always wish that she's in good condition but not really good after all, i wish she's strong & happy just like before, i miss her voice and i miss her smile for me she's the prettiest woman in this world but the god chosen her to become one of servant of sickness i can't blame on god this might be karma after all, what she did at the past life and she have to pay for this life.
Secondly the same question again my relative asked me the same question again where's ur girlfriend?? errr... i told them i don't have any girlfriend, i think this is the question that unavoidable i told them i'll have my girlfriend if i have fate, things can't forcing but one of my cousin he said you should go find a girlfriend for yourself and what to do since everyone is asking i just smile with them :D
Lastly this year, i think i don't have the feel celebrate this CNY i think this might be very mad while my instructor enjoying celebrate CNY very much, might be his long long holiday, anyway tomorrow i'll heading to gym for workout at the same time i need to choose the right tracks for tomorrow BS own workout and not forget my Spin workout as well hope i can find a nice tracks for myself for workout.
The very very last word for this CNY people will said this "FATT" in chinese Prosperity and i replaced it with "FATS"...
