Intensive Care: A Love Story

This is a multi-dimensional story, heartwarming and encouraging, scary and sad; a roller coaster ride of emotions which exemplifies some powerful tenets. One is to take care of what matters most in your life. Another is the value of commitment to one you love, as true love can mean much more than expressing passion and affection. A very poignant lesson was to never leave a loved one alone in the hospital. The importance of family and friends in helping endure and overcome difficulties in time of crisis is reaffirmed. We learn that we should never give up, either on ourselves or our injured loved ones. We learn about selfishness and unselfishness. We are warned against giving away too much of our power by trusting the wrong people, and against relying upon the benevolence of institutions. We learn how much there is to be gained by trusting the right professional people, and how to recognize who they are.This story should resonate with anyone who has longed to identify with true love. It is all the more fascinating because it is true.
