My uncle used to tell me that when she died, I was the sole heir to her entire fortune.
I knew she didn’t have a lot of money, even though I always hoped she would leave her lodge in the woods to me.
I remember all the times our dad plus I would go up to the lodge with Uncle Will. She was dad’s older sibling plus she lived by himself ever since her wifey died. We would go salmon fishing plus then go lake apartment plus smoke the salmon. It was usually cold in the mountains. We had a fireplace in the lodge plus it kept us all hot the entire time both of us were there. Uncle Will always said both of us could come up while I was in the summer time if both of us had a/c. I had to laugh because both of us didn’t even have electricity in the lodge. There was no way both of us could run an a/c unit. When I found out our uncle had left me her lodge, I was ecstatic. I always told him that if anything ever happened to him, I wanted her lodge. I thought she would deliver it to dad, even though I got it. I asked dad why she said it was her fortune, plus dad told me that one afternoon I would find out. When I took our bestie up to the lodge, she started looking around. We had the fireplace lit plus it was so nice. She asked me if I realized there was a hiding spot in the wall. There was a note inside that told me how to turn on the electricity plus gave me the diamond jewelry that belonged to her wifey. My fiance is wearing the engagement ring..
