"TO THE WORLD U MAY BE JUST ANOTHER PERSON,BUT TO ONE PERSON, U ARE THEIR WORLD"
How true is these words which i just wrote? some would say its not,but many agreed to it.....
We might not realised it, but sometimes, things we do for someone means alot to them just read the following story....
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s 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 be 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 arms and thought, '! That is the kind of love I want in my life'.
True love is neither physical nor romantic.
True love is 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.
In this senario, the wife is the old man world.....and the man is living in his world....how many of us would do like that?...
TO THE WORLD U MAY BE JUST ANOTHER PERSON,BUT TO ONE PERSON, U ARE THEIR WORLD , after what i been thru in life, im not ready to be anybody world yet.....

"The happiest people ... just make the best of everything they have." this truly is the heart of this story.
the hard knocks of life prepare us to be the world to that one person. some of us may never find that person, even though she/he is already standing in front of us. we cannot see becoz our past experiences cloud our sight and cripple our future.
if you cast aside the past and look to make the best of what you have and who you are with now, you will be that happiest person around. you deserve that chance to live life happily again.
