It's a privilege to take my Dad to his appointments, it's one on one time that I rarely get.
Today's adventure was to the hospital, and we stand with another patient and her support waiting for a lift, the doors open and there is a patient on a bed, I opened the conversation with whoops. The lady turned and said "I was always taught, try and try again until you succeed." Her son turned and said "Who has time for that, I run off go and find another option to do the job"
Standing there I knew that they were delivering a message, whilst it was about the lift, it was more about succeeding.
We arrived and sat to fill out the form and then Dad was called, I sat and watched the goings on, the pink ladies with their snack trolley and convincing people to buy their favourite lollies, the lady with her walker and her husband getting out her forms, tucking all her things away, telling her to stay where she was whilst he arranged everything. It's beautiful to watch as each person came in for whatever reason and the people that were there to help them or if they arrived solo.
Whilst most people probably don't like the hospital, for me it's a place filled with love, with people caring for other people, helping them with whatever they need. Sometimes taking the time to sit, observe and soak it all up because it really is a beautiful thing.
