My Family Argued Over Grandma’s
1. A Family in Pursuit
After Grandma passed, “my family members hurried to her home” to find her will.
Tensions ran high, with money drawing everyone together in a way only death—or cash—could.
2. A Loyal Companion
I was the only one to take her dog, Berta, home.
Grandma had said Berta was “her dearest friend and the only person she could really trust,”
a companion purchased when I was a child.
3. Grandma’s Secret Philosophy
Despite her fortune, she never handed out money,
preferring to “fund everyone’s schooling” so family members could
“succeed in life by themselves, starting from nothing.”
Her choices kept some relatives distant, even silent about her.
4. An Unexpected Discovery
With Berta by my side, I uncovered “the secret that Grandma had concealed
in a place that no one else would have thought to search,”
revealing a hidden layer of her care and thoughtfulness.
