IRISH LOVE STORY
This is a beautiful tale of love………………….An elderly man lay dying in bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite scones wafting up the stairs. Gathering his remaining strength, he lifted himself from the bed. Leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs…..With laboured breath, he leaned against the door frame looking into the kitchen…. Where it not for death’s agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favourite scones….Was it heaven, or was it one final act of love from his devoted Irish wife of sixty years seeing that he left this world a happy man?? Mustering one final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on he knees in rumpled posture. His aged and withered hand trembled towards a scone at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked by his wife with a wooden spoon….and her voice echoed through his head……………………………….”Back off – they’re for the funeral”…..
