It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital. I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment(约会) at 9:30.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

The nurse had him take a          in the waiting area, __   _him it would be at least 40 minutes        someone would be able to see him. I saw him        his watch and decided, because I was         busy—my patient didn’t appear at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him       he had another doctor’s appointment

The gentleman said no and told me that he         to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his        . He told me that she had been         for a while and that she had a special disease. I asked if she would be          if he was a bit late. He replied that she         knew who he was, and that she had not been able to          him for five years now. I was          , and asked him, “And you         go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?”  

He smiled and said. “She doesn’t know me, but I know who she is.” I had to hold back           as he left.

Now I       that in marriages(婚姻), true love is      of all that is. The happiest people don’t      have the best of everything; they just       everything that they have.       Isn’t about how to live through the storm(暴风雨), but how to dance in the rain.
