A few months earlier, I had undergone major heart surgery. My wife was afraid that learning about her condition would worsen my health.
So our sons took turns staying awake beside her. One monitored her breathing while the other watched the medical device provided by the doctor.
They weren’t buying anything suspicious at the pharmacy. They were getting the medications and medical equipment needed to protect their mother.
They had even locked the door because they were afraid I might walk in unexpectedly and witness one of her seizures.

That night, an ambulance took Laura to the hospital.
The doctor explained to us that a small mass in her brain was causing the seizures. Fortunately, it appeared to be benign and could be completely removed, but they could no longer wait.
I sat beside my wife’s hospital bed and held her hand.
— Why didn’t you tell me anything?
