“He begged us to help him create a nutritional plan for you. Every week, he came here asking what he could prepare so you would eat better.”
I listened silently.
“And this powder?” I asked.
“It was a nutritional supplement mixture. However, your husband had changed some of the ingredients himself. We had advised him not to add anything without consulting a doctor.”
The woman paused.
Then she continued.
“But do you know what surprised us most?”
I looked up.
“Every time he came here, he said the same thing: ‘My wife has spent her entire life taking care of all of us. Now it’s my turn.’”
Tears began rolling down my cheeks.
But one question still troubled me.
“Then why did he hide everything from me?”
The woman reached into the folder and took out an envelope.
“He left this here. He told us that if his wife ever came asking about the breakfasts he prepared, we should give it to her.”
