The Ultimate Denial

So the other day, I heard a women refer to her dead husband as her "late husband".

Clearly nothing wrong with this approach as its a widely accepted term used in today's society.

However, if you really think about it, maybe it is simply her way of not facing the issue...

Maybe rather than acknowledging that her husband is no longer with us, she would prefer to just assume that he is running late, and that is why he is not here.

For a moment, I considered walking up to this poor women and asking her if her husband at least had the decency to call if he knew he was going to be late...

I'm guessing its a good thing that I "passed" on that idea...

...as you were
