The Lesson My Husband Left Me
The greatest thing my husband left me wasn't the house.
It wasn't the business.
It wasn't the money.
It was preparation.
He understood that love doesn't mean assuming everything will always work out.
Sometimes love means making difficult arrangements while you're still healthy enough to make them.
Sometimes protecting someone means putting legal safeguards in place.
And sometimes the best gift you can give your family is making sure that everyone understands where they stand before a crisis arrives.
My husband didn't expect our children to betray me.
Neither did I.
But he understood that circumstances could change.
And because he prepared, I had choices when everything else seemed to disappear.
