A Delayed Visit to the Doctor

Summary

On the day I died, my husband was being lifted onto a pedestal by his new book, *Born Toward the Sun*.

The book told the inspirational story of how he and his first love fought cancer together.

She was a fellow patient he had met during treatment.

The whole internet praised the resilience of life and cried over their love, the kind that seemed to cling to each other between life and death.

No one knew that his treatment had been paid for by me.

I worked in an office during the day and delivered food at night, order by order, mile by mile.

He survived cancer.
