Forsaken in Her Final Hour

When my mother-in-law has a heart attack, my husband, who's a heart surgeon, is busy preparing food for his first love's cat. I call him and urge him to return to save my mother-in-law.

He says icily, "What is wrong with you, Esther? How dare you curse my mother just to make me head home!"

After that, he hangs up. My mother-in-law dies in surgery, yet he's busy watching a concert with his first love.

When he returns the following day to see me holding an urn, he's so angry that he throws the bag he's holding at me.
