A Touching Lumpia Story...

[Barbaro]

is for all the Filipinos out there, and those who are lucky enough to have Filipino friends, those who have Filipino spouses and those who have Filipino next door neighbors...    

The story goes like this:   

An elderly Foreigner  lay dying in his bed . While  suffering the agonies of impending death ,  he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite food, Filipino Lumpia.   
 
Gathering his remaining strength, he lifted himself from the bed.  Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and   with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands he crawled to the kitchen.       

With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame gazing into the kitchen.  Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven.. For there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favorite food, LUMPIA  .         

Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of heroic love from his devoted Filipino wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?   
 
Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a crumpled posture…his parched lips parted, the wondrous taste of the lumpia was already in his mouth, seemingly bringing him back to life.   
 
The aged and withered hand trembled on to a lumpia, when he was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife,     
 
 
"Git out op here!" she shouted  "dis are por your puneral !"
