My son invited me to a “family dinner” and put transfer papers beside my plate before I had even taken off my coat. “Sign tonight, Mom, and nobody has to embarrass you,” he said, while his wife and her parents watched me like the house, the cabin, and the businesses I had spent thirty years building already belonged to them. I looked at the five people around that table, slipped one hand into my coat pocket, and said, “Then I suppose you’d better tell me what happens if I refuse.”
