"Cookies, A Touching Story of Love and Marriage"

Recommended Posts

An elderly man lay dying in his bed. In death's agony, he suddenly
smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies wafting up
the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength and lifted himself
from the bed

Leaning against the wall, 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 spreads out upon 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,
landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted;
the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth; seemingly
bringing him back to life. The aged and withered, trembling hand made
its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly
smacked with a spatula by his wife.

"Stay out of those," she said, "they are for the funeral!"
:S
