I married a 70-year-old hospice patient to fulfill her last wish — after the funeral, her lawyer stepped aside with me and whispered, "I need you to see something.

"Add these to the file," I said.

He looked at them.

Then at me.

"She really did think of everything," he said.

"Almost everything," I said.

"She didn't plan on how much it would hurt to find out all at once."

He was quiet for a moment.

"Are you all right?"

I thought about it honestly.
