Death & Taxes
On the way up to see my mother-in-law in the skilled nursing home where she was under the care of hospice, I posted my tax return with a check at the post office.
When I arrived at a skilled nursing home, the woman I've known and loved for 38 years had passed away ten minutes before I arrived.
My wife's mother, Eunice Zukowski, will be remembered for her willingness never to given in and unwillingness to reject. We had many differences. But, in the end, they didn't matter. All that mattered were three things: 1) our common love for each other; 2) our love for her daughter; and 3) knowing where she would be for eternity.
The only two things we have to do in life happened today.
Onward.
