The Undying Love of A Woman

[JohnBaker3]

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."
