My mother was too busy running from one man to another, and my older sister treated me like I didn’t even exist.
My grandma raised me when no one else cared. She was my safe place, my biggest supporter.
When she passed, I was heartbroken.
But the real shock came during the reading of her will.
Mom got the house, my sister got the car, and me? Just an envelope with a note:
“For you, Tom, our framed photo from the zoo. Love you. Grandma.”
I was stunned. The next day, I took the photo from her wall.
Back at my apartment, I noticed a crack in the old frame.
I opened it to replace the frame—and froze.
“OH GOD… GRANDMA, YOU GENIUS!”
Inside, folded neatly behind the photo, was a bank document and a deed…
To a lakeside cabin I had loved as a child. Paid in full. In my name.
She had hidden it behind the memory we shared the most.
Turns out, Grandma didn’t just leave me something.
She left me everything I needed—wrapped in love and a little mischief.
