A long look into the future lives of 'Give me Chocolate' and her husband.

Btw, today is their first Wedding Anniversary.  I wish them many more.

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE

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 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,
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 hand, shockingly made its way to a cookie at
the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by Pat
his wife.

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