Touching Story



Touching Story of Love and Marriage
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 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. The aged and withered hand,shaking,  made his 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!!!!!
