I believe we can pick a thought from it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly man in his 80\u2019s arrived in the hospital 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 attend him. I saw he kept looking at his watch and i decided to attend to him since I was not busy with other patients. On examination, I realized his wound was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his stitches and redress his wound.<br \/>While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor\u2019s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>The elderly man responded 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>I was surprised, and asked him, \u2018And you still go every morning, even though she doesn\u2019t know who you are?\u2019 He smiled as he patted my hand and said, \u2018She doesn\u2019t know me, but I still know who she is.\u2019<br \/>The lady said she had to hold back tears as he left, and she had goose bumps on her arm, and thought, \u2018That is the kind of love I want in my life\u2019<br \/>\u201cDear people of God, true love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be. I believe the happiest people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8752\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8752\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8752 jetpack-lazy-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1688124444_889_9c1120c2-f701-4992-ad3b-74857cf563ac.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1688129917_419_9c1120c2-f701-4992-ad3b-74857cf563ac.jpeg\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazy-fallback=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8752\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/1688124444_889_9c1120c2-f701-4992-ad3b-74857cf563ac.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"   data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8752\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Father Dominic Yamoah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAs we warm ourselves into this New Year, let us believe that true love conquers all things.
