Three years into my cancer battle, my husband suggested I get my will notarized.
Two days before the notarization, he abandoned me on the highway to meet our daughter's yoga instructor.
As my stomach cancer flared up, he was busy making out with the female teacher in his car.
I begged the highway patrol to call him. When they got through, I heard a woman's passionate moans.

The first thing I did upon waking up in the hospital was cancel my will notarization appointment.

Clothes, shoes, watches - he grabbed all sorts of luxury items until our hands were full.
