This is lovely!!!


This is what love is
It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 a.m., when an elderly
gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.
He stated that 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, we began
to engage in conversation. 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 then 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.

Men on earth die and go to heaven.

God comes and says," I want the men to form two queues- one line for the men
who dominated their women, and the other one for the men who were dominated
by their women. Also, I want all the women to go away so that no man and
woman can talk."

Next time God comes back, the women are gone, and there are two
lines.Theline for the men who were dominated by their women is 100
miles long, and in
the
line of men who dominated their women there is only one man.

God gets mad and says, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created
you in my image, and you were all whipped by your mates. Look at the only
one of my sons who stood up and made me proud. Learn from him! Tell them, my
son, how did you manage to be the only one in this line?"

The man replies, "I don't know, my wife told me to stand here."

TRUST EACH OTHER

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is
broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to
suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity
may result in separation.

A telephone operator told me that one day she received
a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was
silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she
was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so
this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I
do not know whose number it is."

Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to
the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello"
instead of "PUB".
