Bert blinked. “I blamed the dog for decades!”
Edna chuckled. “And the remote that always switched to Hallmark? Penny in the battery. Five straight years of Christmas romances — my little act of revenge.”
Bert gasped, then leaned back, smiling. “Well… I confess too. My Saturday ‘fishing trips’? Bowling league. Those four trophies? Hidden in the basement behind the water heater.”
They laughed, tears in their eyes. Life, they realized, had been full of little secret victories, quiet joys, and laughter that never faded.
They checked off bucket-list dreams: Edna got her new recliner, Bert went skydiving, and together they bowled every Saturday, watching over one another with love and mischief.
Years later, at nearly 60 years of marriage, they passed away in a car accident and reached the Pearly Gates. St. Peter welcomed them to their heavenly home: a gourmet kitchen, Jacuzzi, large bedroom, pool table, and even a championship golf course with an angel caddy. Everything was free.
They toured a five-star heavenly buffet — lobster, Wagyu, prime rib, desserts beyond imagination.
The husband, skeptical, asked, “And the low-fat options?”
St. Peter laughed. “Eat whatever you like. No sickness, no weight gain!”
The husband’s face turned red. He pointed at Edna and yelled, “This is all your fault! We could still be alive if it weren’t for your paleo chicken and bran muffins!”
Edna just shook her head, laughing in heaven’s golden light.
