Fighting, then dying

In honor of Valentine’s Day:

I loathe, absolutely loathe, the attempted-glurge tragic stories about a couple getting into an argument followed by one of them dying, leaving the other filled with a lifelong guilt about it. Therefore, a public announcement to Jeanne, my wife: If you yell at me right before i die, you have my permission to know we would have worked it all out soon enough, and you shouldn’t feel guilty. Arguing happens in a relationship, but making up does too, and it’s worth not forgetting that.
