The Decision
The next morning, I sat in my lawyer’s office.
“I want to leave everything to the American Heart Association,” I said.
“Nothing for my family.”
He raised an eyebrow. “May I ask why?”
I told him everything.
When I finished, he nodded.
“You’re not the first client to say this,” he said softly. “And you won’t be the last.”
An hour later, I signed the papers.
Every dollar, every asset, every memory—gone to a cause that saved my life.
My family would receive exactly what they earned: nothing.
