1991, APR 28. In a middle of the night, Frank woke up by the phone ring. It was from uncle Bob. "Your grandfather past away few hours ago. A funeral is May 1 at a church on a hill of the city." ----------------He was 73 years old. ------ Frank got stunned by the news for a while.
It was after Frank and his daughter went to see him few weeks ago. " Next time you better bring all of your family to see me !" ... a grandfather told to Frank . It was the his last words . He's never told to his family about he has being sick . And he knew his life is almost over at the time.

At a church on a hill of the city, all of the family members meeting each other by the grandfather's coffin. One lady stand beside the coffin and she touched grandfathers hand. " He was worried about something before he die". she looking at Frank and smiled. He was wondering about her because he's never seen her before in his family.

After the funeral, Frank and his two brothers and grandfather's three daughters has meeting at his cousin Jack's house for a grandfather's last will. Aunt Jeane had a piece of paper that grandfather signed. "My first daughter Jeane and third daughter Kay receives my inheritance of $ 50.000 and my house and my land."----- of course, this is the right inheritor under the legal. ---Feedback from I wrote on a first story of Frank's "Forgiveness", his grandfather has three daughters but he didn't left inheritance to his second daughter, it's because of she wasn't there all the time. I also mention that he raised his grandchildren, Frank and his two brothers Jim and Andy. ---

"heh, no way, I got real grandfather's will from his lawyer! He left his all his inheritance to me !" Andy show the paper that grandfather's lawyer and also grandfather signed. No one would surprised.
Andy was only 7 month old when his grandparents started to raise him. I believe Andy and his grandfather are just like the real dad and son. He Also took care of grandfather's management after grandmother's death.

Ok.. now this is the problem . There is two wills. seems both side never give up with the wills that they got from a grandfather. They've even tried to proved sign of grandfather's handwriting.
" What a shame,...... a lady who told me that grandfather was worried about something..... she must talking about the wills he left".... Frank muttered himself.

A five days later, finally the problem got solved after aunt Jeane and Andy had consultation with grandfather's lawyer. Andy will receive $ 50,000 and land. Aunt Jeane and aunt Kay gets everything grandfather had in a house and his two old trucks. Aunt Jeane's face wasn't happy at all.
but she told to Frank " You can get some of the stuff that grandfather had in a house ".
Frank wanted to have a only one of things that grandfather has been valued. It was a wall clock.
He opened the wall clock and tried to wind it. Then he found a stick of gums that his grandfather's favorite kind---- Frank smiled ---- It reminds him that every time his grandfather was asking him when Frank visits grandfather's house " Do you wanna have some ? " . The pieces of gum were always in his pocket.-----------

Few month later, Frank got phone called from aunt Jeane. Her voice was upsetting. " Frank ! I don't understand !! Andy will pull down the grandfather's house and he'll sale the land !" she cried. Of course Frank also got upset . How could he do such a thing, we are all grew up in the house and in the land. All memories will be destroy in the past.

Frank had talk to Andy but he wouldn't listen. On the contrary, Andy was mad about Frank, it's because of he was aunt Jeane's side. " I thought that I can shear some grandfather's inheritance after sold the land but... heh, just forget it !" Andy hang up the phone. Since then he had never talk to Frank.

Frank visited grandfather's land after heard from aunt Jeane that grandfather's house got pulled down.
He was standing in a grandfather's land of 3 acre and he sighs ..." oh, grandfather you shouldn't had leave your inheritance to us, your children are falling a part. You knew it's gonna happen" ..

Frank was glad about that he didn't get any of the money from his brother. still he has a grandfather's memories in his favorite wall clock with a stick of gum. He thought that it is more worth than anything.
