The Awesome Power of a Wife's Love!

My sister sent this little diddy my way today, and I just wanted to share it.  I think that it is hilarious, and I know that being the type of person that I am, this is how I would totally react!

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 up 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 wooden spoon by his wife.

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