After my mom's surgery, she moved into the house I paid for in full. Then my husband dragged home a pitiful woman. She claimed she was afraid of the cold and insisted that my mom move out of the south-facing bedroom. She said she was a light sleeper and asked my mom not to get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Later, she sat beside my husband with a cup of hot milk and whispered, "Daisy keeps coughing all night. I can't get any sleep. Maybe she should move out for a while." My husband frowned at me. "Irene, your mom really is disturbing everyone's sleep." I put down my fork and smiled. "Sure, I'll take care of it later."
