Reply #13: When my grandmother died, she left a small cash nestegg

[Merlot]

she had saved it up over the years and told me where it was hidden. Sure enough I found it all. My dad was with me at the time. My grandmother had left a note giving most of the money to me, and some to my sister. She didn't leave any to my mom (her daughter) because they weren't close and argued a lot. My mother was doing ok for money anyhow. But my dad, ever loyal to my mother, took the money and split it three ways so as not to "hurt mothers feelings."

Of course my feelings were hurt, and I never really forgave him for that. But I was young, and didn't speak up for myself or my grandmothers wishes.

Death brings out a lot of ugly things in people. When my dad died, my sister carried on the family tradition of greed.
