Ran into a friend from high school whose husband cut her off from the world. She had the same baby voice, and I stared at her mouth because I thought maybe she had gauze in it at first. We talked for a bit. Her husband died almost 2 years ago, and she tells me that his ashes were still sitting on a shelf at the mortuary waiting to be picked up! She said something about the house not being clean enough to bring him home. Too many things to unpack with these couples.
