Therefore, he wanted to dispose of his assets in advance in such a way that he could continue to help people after his death.
Especially those who have devoted their entire lives to work, but are left alone in their old age.
Atthe end of the letter, he wrote:
“I don’t want my property to become the reason for your quarrels after my death. I want it to help those who need it much more now.”
I sat in silence for a long time.
I married a man because I thought I would be rich after his death.
However, it turned out that long before our meeting, he had already decided to donate his property to people who really needed help.
A few days later, I went to one of the nursing homes that his foundation supported.
I was greeted there by an older woman.
She said:
“Your husband has come here several times. He never told us how much money he spends on us. He simply asked what we needed.
I stood and listened to her.
And for the first time since my husband’s death, I was ashamed of my ownthoughts.
I realized that I knew almost nothing about the man I had married.
He didn’t leave me a fortune.
He left me the opportunity to get to know who he really was.
Then I decided to continue helping his foundation.
Not because of the decline.
Only because I finally understood why he made such a decision.
