Dear Queenie,
I have been diagnosed with cancer and may have only a few more years to live, if that. I just found out that my mother has been keeping in touch with an old friend of mine and is trying to arrange for him to marry my wife after I die.
Queenie, how can a mother betray her own child like that?—Angry son
Dear Son,
Perhaps she is simply trying to make certain that her daughter-in-law will be well taken care of after (if) you die. As long as she is not trying to arrange for your friend(?) to get together with your wife while you are still alive, give her the benefit of the doubt.
