Agatha was 83 when she received her diagnosis with cancer, where she was given few months to live. She was living alone in her big house, since her children all moved away as they started their own lives.
She was aware that her children were spoiled since they were raised in comfort and riches. She tried to instill good values into her children, but they ended up being materialistic.
She had four children. Her eldest Brian was working in rough schedules.
Her second oldest, Sally, would say that she “forgot” to call her whenever Agatha calls her.
Her twins, John and Mary were journalists, and they were constantly out of the country.
Brian had one, and Sally had two children. They gave three grandchildren to Agatha. Sadly, she was not able to spent good amount of time with her grandkids too.
One day, while she was talking with her friend after she received her diagnosis, her friend told her that she can fake her death, and see who will come to her funeral. Agatha agreed.
After the news were sent to her children, they were in her home in an hour. Agatha’s friend Sharon was there. They directly started to talk about how they will divide the inheritance.
Then Sharon told them that they should say their final goodbyes one by one. After Brian entered into the room, he was shocked to see his mother alive.
After talking about values, Agatha told her son to leave without telling anything to his siblings. Each sibling entered one by one, and they left.
When John left the room, he was weeping. Then came Mary’s turn. As she entered, she was overjoyed to see her mother alive. As she hugged to Agatha, she started to crying and asked why did she do such a thing.
In the end, Agatha decided to split the inheritance equally, as she believed that her children would change.
