Okay, so in the summer of 2010, my husband Kevin was in the hospital dying of cancer, a stage four diagnosis. He had tumors that were in his lungs and in his spine, and the ones in his lungs we had treated successfully, but the ones in his spine didn't respond to treatment, and so he'd had surgery. And the first surgery went pretty well, but the second surgery did not.

And it rendered him a quadriplegic. So he was in the hospital for about 50 days. And during that time, we also had two kids.

I was still working and we had a house and all of this other stuff, life that was going on.

So my day would consist of getting up around 9 or 10 in the morning and getting the kids ready and figuring out who was going to care for them and who was going to feed them and how they were going to make it through the day.

And so I answered the phone, and Diane said to me, I knew it, I knew you were there, you're fooling around with him, and now you're caught. And I'm coming for you. You're not going to get away with this. And I said, excuse me? Who are you calling for? I'm not sure who you're calling for, but I think you have the wrong number. She said, don't tell me I have the wrong number.

I really have to go.
