*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.** * *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.'* *www.IndiaPages.in <http://www.indiapages.in/>* ------------------------------ -- Regards, Anuj Anandwala Analyst I Investment Research Parag Parikh Financial Advisory Services Ltd.
