It was all lies-the affair, cancer and him leaving her. Rush referred to it earlier this week, thank you for posting it!

It was the spring of 1980.
It is this visit that has turned into the infamous hospital visit about which many untruths have been told. I won't repeat them. You can look them up online if you are interested in untruths. But here's what happened:
My mother and father were already in the process of getting a divorce, which she requested.
Dad took my sister and me to the hospital to see our mother. She had undergone surgery the day before to remove a tumor. The tumor was benign. As with many divorces, it was hard and painful for all involved, but life continued. As have many families, we have healed; we have moved on.
The spin on the ‘serving divorce papers to his wife in the hospital, who was dying of cancer’ story was a lie, and it bears repeating the actual facts.
- She wasn’t dying - and is alive today.
- She was having a benign tumor removed.
- She initiated the divorce.
- The divorce was decided and talked about by the family months before she entered the hospital.
LOL, she probably asked him for a divorce because he was already cheating on her with wife #2. Then he cheated on wife #2 with wife #3.
