true story:
I had a dying patient once who just was so fascinating to me, I loved talking with him. His wife would come visit him from daylight to dusk every day. They were married forever. One day I visited him on my rounds & saw his wife wasn't there. So I asked " Would you like your favorite strawberry icecream?" , he smiled and said " no thank you. You see...for 65 years I have shared my strawberry icecream with my sweetheart everyday. I could not imagine eating it without her. I will wait until she visits later today" .....
That made my heart smile. THAT is what I want. I refuse to settle for anything less than a strawberry icecream kind of love.
