Yesterday I was doing a procedure on a patient, and their husband was at the bedside with them. They had been married for almost twice as long as I've been alive, and I always love asking how these love affairs began. I love to see people look at each other as that twinkle comes back into their eyes while they remember and wonder how much of the story to tell.
This couple met in college, she was in a singing group that used to practice at one of the other member's house, and he was the brother of that other member and would turn the pages for them.
I took this as an opportunity to ask them if I could hear them sing, and I was delighted as the two of them broke out into a duet. Definitely something you don't hear often on our unit!
