Life is Filled With Choices

Life is filled with choices and directions we can take, but I believe the key question we must ask is: Do we choose to live a life founded on love or not? Science has validated the wonderful power of love; however, even if you put science aside, most of us figure out, as we move through our years, that what matters most is this thing called Love.
Not too long ago, a friend sent me a poignant story that had been circulating on the Internet—demonstrating the beauty and power of love. The story had to do with an older gentleman, who had been to his doctor, telling the physician that he was concerned about being on time for his next appointment—a meeting at a nursing home with his wife, who was living with Alzheimer’s. The gentleman explained that though he went daily to be with his wife, she had not recognized him in five years.
The doctor was surprised about his need to be on time since his wife did not remember or recognize him. The man’s reply, essentially, was, “She does not know me, but I still know who she is.”
The doctor who wrote the article shared that she was so deeply moved (as I was) by this man and the love he felt for his wife, that she had to hold back her own tears. The doctor continued, stating that she hoped to, one day, find such love.
The doctor’s words were, “True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True Love is acceptance of all that is, all that has been, will be, and will not be.”
From my perspective, whether this encounter actually took place is not important; however, the message is. Having treated patients who have loved ones with Alzheimer’s; and having personally known some who live a similar situation, this piece touched my heart.
Love is the reason you are here. Had this man been you, would you have chosen to love in the way he did? Choose wisely because the very heart of your existence rests on the quality of your choice.
May you enjoy days filled with blessings of love every day of your life.
