Honesty Creative Challenge #289



After 91 years the elderly gentleman was on his death bed. His wife of 70 years was holding his hand. Finally she blurts out, “Henry, I have to tell you this to ease my conscience. It was during the Great War in 1943, you were away and I was lonely. I was weak and had an affair, twice…”

The old man said “OH! I don’t blame you and I forgive you.”

He let out a long breath and never took another.

As she reached over to close his eyes she said “…once with the baseball team and once with the football team.”
