Last week I experienced something wonderful...

As I was doing my routine medication administration, my patient called out for her husband.  As I was about to give her the shot, her husband, who is 90+ years old, slowly made his way over to the bedside and grabbed her hand (he has been living at the hospital with her and spends every waking moment at her side). She looked up at him and said, "I think I need about 5 kisses right now."  He smiled and leaned over the bed rail and kissed her several times...
"I gave you 10."


At that moment I promised myself that I would find that- I would find a man who will love me with a love that is unbreakable and grows everyday, even when we are 90 years old.  I have seen it, and I know I will find it.  And I will never settle for anything less.

And when I need 5 kisses, I know without a doubt that he will give me 10.
