Forsaken in Her Final Hour
Nancy Hart
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.
"Look at how Lexie was considerate enough to buy clothes for my mother. All you know how to do is get Mom to pull these dumb acts with you!"
I sneer. His mother is already dead—what use are those clothes?
