Today I Saw A Man
By Wade McCoy, MD

Today I saw a man. We agreed to meet at the nursing home. His wife, Millie, has Alzheimer's disease. She requires twenty-four hour care. I met him to make a medical visit with her. As we got off the elevator, he bounded toward her room like he was headed to the ice cream counter, moving down the hall at a fast pace on his way to see Millie. At the end of the hall he entered the last door to the left. Today I saw a real man.

Today I saw a man almost bounce into the room of his ill wife. He knelt down beside her chair, more like a grandchild than a husband. He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead and said, "How are you today Millie?

That was a wonderful story, one that as I read I was reminded of Ephesians 5:25.

"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it"
