We will often keep secrets and may hold onto them for our entire life. Some of the secrets may be small, and others could be huge. In any case, it is sometimes an act of kindness if we avoid letting those secrets out when they could hurt someone.

One of the times in life when we will often let the secret out is when we are on our deathbed. There are things that we may just want to get off our chest, and that seems like the best time to do it.

That is what happened in the following joke when a man let out a secret and left his wife dazed.

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 all through the bad times.

When I got fired, you were there to support me.

When my business failed, you were there.

When I got shot, you were by my side.

When we lost the house, you stayed right here.

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

You know what?”

“What dear?” she asked gently, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.

” I think you’re bad luck.”
