A Nurse Mentioned the Woman Visiting My Dying Husband—Then She Came to My Door With a Letter About a Five-Year-Old Boy

A bank representative I had arranged to speak with reviewed the immediate situation over the phone.

“I know.”
“And the loan secured against the house—”
“I know about that.”
She asked about other funds, pending benefits, and whether there were documents we had not yet located.
“We used the savings,” I said.
