Abstract

Waiting in line at the pharmacy, my phone buzzed with a text from my husband.

"Babe, the doctor said it's late-stage. There's no coming back from this."

"Maybe we should just... stop the treatments."

"I'm terrified of losing you and ending up with absolutely nothing left."

My finger hovered over the screen for a long time before I finally typed back a simple agreement.

He had spent nine years living in a damp basement apartment with me, working five jobs a day just to pay my medical bills. I couldn't drag him down anymore.
