Gabby, along with her siblings Maya, Tasmin, and Robert, gathered in a lawyer’s office to hear their late mother’s will. While Maya, Tasmin, and Robert each received a one-dollar bill, Gabby found a letter inside her envelope. Maya quickly grabbed the letter and exclaimed, “What the hell, Gabby?” The lawyer was shocked as the letter revealed their mother had left everything to Gabby—the house, the savings, everything. The reason? Gabby was the only one who truly cared for their mother. Gabby had never sought favoritism; she only wanted to support her mom without expecting anything in return. Maya had her own family, Tasmin was always busy with work, and Robert seldom made time for family. Their mother’s decision was a thank you for Gabby’s love and commitment, with the dollar bills serving as a reminder of the time her siblings hadn’t spent with their mom.

Please understand me.” But her siblings were furious and ignored her.In a bid to mend things, Gabby proposed they split the savings equally, not for luxury but as a safety net for each sibling.
