It is not rare that families fracture over a loved one’s assets. It sometimes goes to the extent that those set to inherit may not see eye to eye. A woman shared a story of her mother and the inheritance she left after her passing. The woman started her story saying how she was the one who took care of her mother who battled cancer. “Mom was always my best friend, so naturally, I was going to be there every step of the way while she battled this illness,” the woman wrote.

It is not rare that families fracture over a loved one’s assets. It sometimes goes to the extent that those set to inherit may not see eye to eye.
A woman shared a story of her mother and the inheritance she left after her passing.
The woman started her story saying how she was the one who took care of her mother who battled cancer. “Mom was always my best friend, so naturally, I was going to be there every step of the way while she battled this illness,” the woman wrote.
However, as she was always there for her mother, her greedy brother and her aunts were only around when they needed something, usually when they wanted their bills paid.
“one aunt (while my mom was on a steady decline), she wanted mom’s “contacts” to sort out a new house for her. Because my mom owned a real estate agency. The audacity was unbelievable,” the woman wrote.
Sadly, her mom passed away.
The woman then recalled the day her mom’s will was to be read. All of her family, including her brother and her aunts, as well as her late mom’s lawyer were sit in the room that resembled a scene from a Hallmark movie.
“I was sipping a cup of weak tea from one of the chipped teacups when the lawyer dropped the bomb. Mom’s savings, about all $5 million of it, was to be split between my brother and my aunts. I choked back the tea, thinking what was happening in the name of heaven. Because I got nothing. Zip. Nada.

I choked back the tea, thinking what was happening in the name of heaven. Because I got nothing. Zip. Nada,” the woman wrote.
At that moment, tears started rolling down her face and mascara drops stained her skirt while her brother and her aunts had a hard time hiding the smirk on their faces.
“‘How on earth could my mom have done this to me?‘ I thought, wiping my nose with the face of my hand. And then, as a classic overthinker, I began to wonder whether I cared enough for her during those final months,” the poor woman kept wondering.
Next, she could see the lawyer approaching her and handing her an envelope.
When she opened it, the woman saw an address written on a piece of paper. She had no idea what was going on.
At first, she thought it could be a location to a storage her mom wanted her to clear out. The lawyer, for one, stayed tight-lipped. He only reminded the the woman that she was the person her mom loved the most.
When she got to the address, the woman realized that her mom left her a gem of a home. The house in front of her was so beautiful it resembled one from a fairytale. Even the woman’s favorite flowers were planted in the yard.
“It turns out my mom knew all about how my brother and aunts were the biggest money drains. But she wanted me to have a place to build a future and a family. To make new memories in a place that clearly has her spirit,” the woman continued her story.
Another letter on the kitchen table in this new home explained that the mom left the money to her son and her sister fully aware they would waste it the moment they put their hands on it, but she wanted to teach them the value of family, which would likely come as a lesson once they spent all the money they inherited.
“But now, I’m standing in my new kitchen, drinking coffee from the coffee machine I always wanted, and I realize that mom’s love was never in the money — no. It was in this home, and I knew that this gift would be more valuable to me than anything else.
“Hey, Mom? You still know the best.”

The woman entered the hospital with a blanket covering what everyone assumed was a child, but as she disclosed what she had brought, the doctors and nurses fell silent. Take a look at what she hid:
Shelby Hennick, a 21-year-old lady, went viral after making a touching gesture for her grandma, who was in serious condition in the hospital.
The woman’s grandmother had been suffering from lung problems and was in pain. Her only relief was the wish to see Patsy, her dog, whom she had missed terribly during her hospital stay.
Shelby went above and beyond to devise a crafty scheme to bring a smile to her grandmother’s face.
She planned to wrap Patsy in a blanket and sneak her into the hospital so her grandmother could see her beloved dog again. However, the hospital’s tight rules prohibited dogs, leaving the grandmother depressed.
Shelby utilized her expertise as a veterinarian to calm the worried pup, who was originally highly restless and disturbed, before continuing on the dangerous tour. Shelby appeased Patsy and slipped her into the hospital unannounced with a delicate touch and gentle words.
The surprise reunion was a huge success, and the grandmother was ecstatic to see Patsy again finally. Shelby’s care and love for her grandma not only improved the grandmother’s day but also touched the hearts of millions worldwide, who have since complimented Shelby’s consideration and love for her grandmother.
Shelby strolled boldly inside the hospital, Patsy disguised beneath a blanket. Despite the look of a hidden baby, Patsy was her beloved dog.
Her sudden entrance into the room startled Shelby’s grandmother. Patsy was coming to see her, and she had no idea. Shelby finally unveiled her furry pet, which delighted the grandmother. The expression of love brought the grandmother to tears.
