After Mom Unplugged Dad's Ventilator, I Made Her Regret It

Dad refused to sign the listing paperwork for Mom's first love, and on his way out he was hit by a semi and left in a vegetative state. Outside the hospital, I overheard Mom and her first love talking. "Paige, I only told the truck driver to give him a scare. How was I supposed to know it'd leave him as good as dead? There was nothing I could do. He wouldn't sign, so I couldn't take the company public." Mom sighed. "It's not your fault. If anyone's to blame, it's him, for refusing to bend."
