It was my 2nd day of duty, I was working in a long term care facility and have couple of patients assigned to me… as I was doing my med pass, i was looking for one of my patient and I couldn’t find her anywhere… so I asked the CNA where she is and they said prolly in her husband room. So this lady is about on her 70s and I look at my list of patients and looked for the same last name and went straight to that room and found her there with her husband. She’s ambulating via wheelchair as well as her husband. I gave both their meds and I saw how caring they are for each other.
Every time i have my duty I would see the lady always go to her husband’s room (she’s more healthier) until one day the administrator decided to put them in the same room. They become one of my favorites I just love seeing a love so true and lasting.
One time I was asking the wife if she wanted to eat in the dining area since she’s more stronger than the guy and can ambulate without issues through her wheelchair, right away she would turn to her husband and ask him “are you going too?” the husband answered he’ll just stay in his room since he’s a little tired. She faced towards me and said “oh I’m not going cause my husband’s don’t want to come, I’ll just stay here with him”
Every time the husband would cough she would look at him with a very worried face and come to him closer just to rub his back… Or sometimes when I’m getting their vital signs I would hear them talk to each other and joke around…
Love never really fades… it’s up to the couple how to work their relationship out through all those years… and also stick to their vows of marriage <3
“from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part”
