I intern at Longview, a residential senior community in Ithaca, NY. Recently, one man's wife of over half a century fell and broke her hip. She is now in rehab and staying at the hospital until she recovers. Everyday this man sits in the lobby and waits for someone to pick him up to see his wife. It touches my heart to see him sitting there every evening. To me his devotion is a testament of true love. For him the act of waiting patiently to see his wife though no one has come for days on end... for him this act just comes natural. Waiting for her is as natural as breathing.
