A couple of weeks ago I received a lot of money from my mums estate.
Mum had been ill for a few years before and at the end I wanted her to die,
She couldn't speak, walk, eat properly, double incontinent weighed less than 5 stone.
This friend new what I had gone through caring for mum.
I'm an only child and dad died in 2001.
Mum had a nice house which has now been sold.
Friend saw that the house was sold and asked outright what I'm going
to be doing with all that money I ignored the question. There was more money than the house.
Last night a few of us friends got together for a meal and a catch-up.
Everyone else was lovely but this one friend kept bugging me on what I ordered.
We all put in the same amount.
I ordered a small fish and chips - with your money you could get a large.
I was driving so had a lemonade and lime - you could buy a bottle of wine or even champagne.
Talking to another person about my new blouse - with your money you could shop in a better place.
I was waiting for her to say I should pay the whole bill.
Today the friend I was talking to about the blouse phoned me to check I was OK as she noticed what the other person was doing.
I don't want to fall out with her does she not realise I'd prefer to have mum back in full health than get this money.
Sorry this is so long and thank you for reading.
