How to Dance in the Rain

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. 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.

JUST A THOUGHT. . .

MY MOM, MY TWO SISTERS, MATTHEW AND I WENT TO OREGON ON THE TRAIN TO VISIT MY NEPHEW, MONTE AND HIS SON KODY. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN RIDING ON THE TRAIN, I HAD A LOT OF FIRSTS ON THIS TRIP. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME RIDING ON THE TRAIN, IT WAS GREAT EXCEPT FOR TRYING TO WALK, KINDA FELT LIKE YOU HAD A LITTLE TOO MUCH TO DRINK AND I DON'T MEAN POP. ONE TIME MATT AND I WERE GOING TO THE OBSERVATION CAR AND I FELL RIGHT ON TOP OF A LADY THAT WAS SLEEPING IN HER SEAT. SCARED HER AND ME HALF TO DEATH.

I ALSO HAD NEVER SEEN THE OCEAN. BOY IS IT BIG!!! I COULD NEVER IMAGINE JUST HOW IMMENSE IT IS. WE CLIMBED ON THE ROCKS AND SAW DIFFERENT SEA CREATURES.. REALLY UGLY ONES. WE COULDN'T EVEN BELIEVE THEY WERE ALIVE UNTIL YOU STUCK YOUR FINGER ON THEM AND THEY MOVED. I COLLECTED ROCKS AND DRIFT WOOD. MY FAVORITE KIND OF SOUVENIRS.

I ALSO HAD NEVER BEEN TO AN AQUARIUM THAT WHEN YOU WALKED INTO THIS TUBE YOU HAD SHARKS AND STINGRAYS AND OTHER VERY LARGE FISH SWIMMING ALL THE WAY AROUND YOU. THEY HAD OCTOPUSES AND THE BOYS GOT TO TOUCH LITTLE STINGRAYS AND STAR FISH. IT WAS GREAT. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND WOULD GO BACK IN A HEARTBEAT. THANK YOU MONTE AND KODY FOR MAKING OUR TRIP SO GREAT IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO SPEND THAT MUCH TIME WITH MATTHEW. IT SEEMS LIKE I DON'T EVEN GET TO SEE HIM MUCH ANYMORE. I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH HIM AND HE WAS SO FUN, THANK YOU, MATT. I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY MOM AND SISTERS. NOT ONLY ARE THEY FAMILY THEY ARE SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS. THANK YOU MOM, PAM AND OLE!

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR CARE AND CONCERN BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER MY SURGURY. I HAD MY YEARLY CHECK UP AND HAVE LOST 83 POUNDS AND FEEL GREAT! THANK YOU! .

MATTHEW HAD HIS 10 TH BIRTHDAY ON MAY 6 TH. HE GOT A BIRTHDAY CARD THAT READ,

"HAPPINESS IS LIKE PEEING IN YOUR PANTS. EVERYONE CAN SEE IT, BUT ONLY YOU CAN FEEL ITS WARMTH." BOY, THAT SAYS IT ALL!
