Auction Off Your Past
My maternal grandfather was wealthy. He divorced my maternal grandmother, remarried, and promptly suffered a heart attack. He was only 48 and had no will so everything went to his new wife, my mom’s stepmother.
She was actually really nice and was planning on making sure that everything was “fair”…till she tragically passed in a car accident six months later. She was a widow herself prior to marrying grandfather and had a now-orphaned a 15-year-old son from a previous marriage.
He got everything. My mom and her siblings had to go to the auction at their childhood home and buy back as much of their heirlooms and memories as they could afford—and, truthfully, filched some of what they couldn’t.
