[GCFL-discuss] Last wish . . .

[gcfl-discuss at gcfl.net]

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, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom,
and with even greater effort inched 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 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 moved himself toward the table,
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 hand shakingly made its way to a cookie at the
edge of the table, when his wife suddenly smacked it with a spatula.

"Stay out of those," she said, "they're for the funeral."



Happy Valentine's Day!
