My late mother gave my avaricious brother and aunts a $5 million fortune; all I received was an envelope with an address

Families rupturing over a loved one’s possessions is not unusual. It can occasionally get so bad that people destined to inherit might not agree.

The woman began by stating that she was the one who cared for her mother during her cancer battle. The woman added, “Since Mom has always been my best friend, it goes without saying that I will support her through this illness at every turn.” She was always there for her mother, though, while her avaricious brother and aunts were always around when they needed something, which was generally to have their bills paid.

“One aunt wanted my mom’s “contacts” to help her find a new home as my mom’s health was steadily failing. since my mother ran a real estate company. The woman wrote, “The audacity was unbelievable.”

The woman remembered that day when her mother’s will was supposed to be read. The room, which looked like it was out of a Hallmark film, was filled with her brother, her aunts, and the attorney for her late mother.

“When the lawyer dropped the bomb, I was drinking weak tea from one of the broken teacups. Approximately $5 million of Mom’s savings were designated to be divided between my brother and my aunts.

I swallowed the tea hard, wondering what on earth was going on. since I received nothing. None at all. Nothing at all. Her brother and her aunts were trying desperately not to grin at her as tears began streaming down her face and mascara drips marred her skirt.

“‘How could my mother have hurt me in this way?'” I wiped my nose with my hand as I thought. As a typical overthinker, I then started to question if I had given her enough attention in those last several months,” the poor woman couldn’t stop thinking.

The woman found an address scrawled on a sheet of paper when she opened it. She was clueless about what was happening. She initially believed it might be the location of a storage unit her mother was asking her to empty.

For one, the lawyer said very little. All he did was tell the woman that she was the one her mother cared about the most. The woman discovered her mother had left her a treasure of a house when she arrived at the address. The house she saw before her was so exquisite that it looked like something out of a fairy tale. In the garden were even the woman’s favourite flowers.

As it happens, my mother was fully aware of how my brother and aunts were the largest spenders of money. But she desired for me to have a home where I could raise a family and a future. The woman carried on with her story, “to create new memories in a place that obviously has her spirit.”

A second letter, found on the kitchen table of this new house, told how the mother had left the money to her son and her sister, knowing full well that they would blow it the moment they got their hands on it. However, she also wanted to instill in them the importance of family, a lesson they would probably learn after they had spent all of their inheritance.

But now that I’m in my new kitchen and sipping coffee from the coffee maker I’ve always desired, I understand that my mother’s love was never based on material possessions. I knew that this present would mean more to me than anything else because it was in this house.

“Hey, Mom? You still know the best.”
