> gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his
> thumb.
>
> He stated that 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

>
> While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation.

>
> 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 arm, and
> thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."
