Side by Side

(Barb, girlfriend, you are killing me with this one!)


A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.

One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.

As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me through all the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me.

"When my business failed, you were there.

When I got shot by that robber, you were by my side.

When we lost the house, you stayed right there.

When my health started failing, you were still by my side...

You know what?"

His wife leaned in closer. "What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her heart begin to fill with warmth.

"Get the heck away from me! You're bad luck."

Ah. Togetherness.
