I bet you wish this had really happened! Or, did it??? My word, that would be amazing. It's a brilliant contest entry. It certainly made my eyes water, lol. Well, if it's not true, lets hope you win the contest! Well done, and good luck! :) Sandra xx

    How wonderful, what a lovely surprise, and you didn't know anything about it. Bless her heart. :)

Wouldn't that be a surprise! This is a very pleasant story, and you did well in the few allotted words. Perfect picture, of course. Good luck in the contest.

This is amazing! I wish my parents had been so thoughtful and generous. I could use those dollars. Very clearly presented and great ending. With all that money, you could surely pay more than 2 member cents! Best of luck in the contest with this great one. judi

    I may have exaggerated my wealth.

    This made a great flash fiction story. So convincing you'll have people hitting you up for money. judi

Wow! This is listed as fiction, but I hope that's an oversight! I need a loan... about ten grand will keep me afloat for a while. Message me for my address. Your luck is my luck... a new cliche I just invented. :)

    It's all true except the part about my mother, the money, and the check.

    Unfortunately, the only thing about this that is true, other than my mom's passing, is the ten grand in the bank in 1982. Accounts were paying 8 to 10 percent back then, and if I'd been able to forget about that money until now, this is what it would be worth.
