When my mom was in the hospital, my sister-in-law, Haylee Frost, showed up with three rotten bananas. My husband, Eddie Frost, just shrugged and said, "We're family. It's the thought that counts." Half a year later, Eddie's mother, Emma Frost, got sick. I bought exactly four bananas, not one more, not one less. When I set the bananas down by Emma's bedside, the whole room went dead silent.
