One day George grew very sick. As his wife approached
him he looked up and smiled. She began to cry but she
tried to hold back her tears. When she built up her
courage she said "George, During the 47 years that we
were married, I was always with you. During the flood
that destroyed the house, I was with you. When you had
heart surgery, I was with you. When our financial
problems were depressing you, I was with you. When the
fire burnt down our house, I was with you. And now
that you are about to die, I am with you." Then man
nodded his head and replied in a soft weak voice "you
were with me all those times Mildred. Maybe you are
just bad luck."
