Searching through the Freezer, I noticed a Tupperware Container and Wondered what it Contained. When I pulled it Open, I silently stared At its contents. It was the leftovers Of Jack's birthday cake, Seven months beyond The date. We wondered whether he Could hang in To reach that milestone. He did! God gave him Eighty seven years. His illness had taken It's toll, and He looked much older. But he could still enjoy His chocolate cake, His favorite. I struggled for a moment. Should I put the Box back on the Freezer shelf? If so, For what? For who? Instead, I thoughtfully tossed It in the garbage can. The cake was one of Jack's keepsakes I didn't need to keep. |
