It was a morning, about 8:30 am, when an old man in his 80’s reached my hospital to take care of his finger. He said he was in a hurry because he had an appointment at 9 am.
While taking care of his finger I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The old man told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to have breakfast with his wife. I asked if she would be unhappy if he was a bit late. He replied that there was something wrong with his wife’s mind and she hadn’t known who he was since five years ago.
I was surprised, and asked him, "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?"
He smiled to me and said, "She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is."
