READ THE NOTE!
Jake Blumberg had been an observant Jew and was in the hospital, near death. The family called their rabbi, Rabbi Geller, to be with them. As the rabbi stood next to the bed, Jake's condition appeared to deteriorate rapidly and he motioned frantically for something to write on.
The rabbi lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Jake used his last bit of energy to write a message. The rabbi did his best not to look at the note at that time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket.
At the funeral, as he was finishing his eulogy, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket that he was wearing when Jake died.
He said, "You know, Jake handed me a note just before he died. I haven't looked at it yet, but knowing Jake, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there for us all. " He opened the note, and read, "Hey, you're standing on my oxygen tube!"
