The Undying Love of A Woman
THE AWESOME POWER OF A WIFE'S Love
> > A very old man lay dying in his bed. In death's doorway, he suddenly > smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookie wafting up the > stairs. > > > He gathered his remaining strength and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning > against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even > greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with > both hands. > > > With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the > kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself > already in heaven. > > > There, spread out on newspapers on the kitchen table were literally > hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies. > > > Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted > wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? > > > Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table. The > aged and withered hand, shaking, made its way to a cookie at the edge of > the table, when he was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife. > > > "Stay out of those," she said. "They're for the funeral." ![]() ![]() ![]()
