Today I am grateful for being forced to sit and observe the faces walking by the information desk at the hospital.
I know it's been a while, but this sweet couple walked by and it made me whole day slow down and come into focus. I noticed her sitting down in one of the chairs, waiting quietly for something. I don't generally pay much attention to the visitors who are minding their own business and aren't clouding my waiting area with loud, boisterous music from their 'confounded' cell phones. But, of course, my eye turned to this older woman who had been patiently sitting for several minutes.
An older gentleman finally walked in, whittled cane in hand. As they passed my desk, she quietly stated to him while grasping her painful, limping hip, "I should've parked the car and let you stay in here. You're in worst shape and I am."
Neither of them said another word as they walked onto the elevators together. That is the stuff that we all need to slow down and witness on a daily basis. Sweet, coupley love.
