My Late Mom’s Surprise Inheritance

Gabby, a young woman, sat in the lawyer’s office with her three siblings, Maya, Tasmin, and Robert. They were about to hear their late mother’s final wish as her will was read.Before them were envelopes. Gabby’s siblings opened theirs to find a one-dollar bill inside. Confusion filled the room. Gabby, however, held an envelope that felt different.

Inside was a folded letter.Maya snatched the letter from Gabby’s hand and blurted out, “What the hell, Gabby?” The lawyer gasped in surprise.The letter revealed that their mother had left everything to Gabby. The house, the savings account, all of it. Why? Because Gabby was the only one who truly cared.Gabby never sought to be the favorite. She simply felt it was her duty to be there for her mom in her time of need, without any expectations of a payout.Maya had her own family, Tasmin was always busy with work, and Robert seldom made time for the family. Their mother’s decision to leave everything to Gabby was a way of saying thank you for her love and dedication. The dollar bills her siblings received were a reminder of the time they hadn’t given their mom while she was still alive.The letter burned in Gabby’s hands.
