It is not rare that families fracture over a loved one’s assets. It sometimes goes to the extent that those set to inherit may not see eye to eye. A woman shared a story of her mother and the inheritance she left after her passing. The woman started her story saying how she was the one who took care of her mother who battled cancer. “Mom was always my best friend, so naturally, I was going to be there every step of the way while she battled this illness,” the woman wrote.

It is not rare that families fracture over a loved one’s assets. It sometimes goes to the extent that those set to inherit may not see eye to eye.
A woman shared a story of her mother and the inheritance she left after her passing.
The woman started her story saying how she was the one who took care of her mother who battled cancer. “Mom was always my best friend, so naturally, I was going to be there every step of the way while she battled this illness,” the woman wrote.
However, as she was always there for her mother, her greedy brother and her aunts were only around when they needed something, usually when they wanted their bills paid.
“one aunt (while my mom was on a steady decline), she wanted mom’s “contacts” to sort out a new house for her. Because my mom owned a real estate agency. The audacity was unbelievable,” the woman wrote.
Sadly, her mom passed away.
The woman then recalled the day her mom’s will was to be read. All of her family, including her brother and her aunts, as well as her late mom’s lawyer were sit in the room that resembled a scene from a Hallmark movie.
“I was sipping a cup of weak tea from one of the chipped teacups when the lawyer dropped the bomb. Mom’s savings, about all $5 million of it, was to be split between my brother and my aunts. I choked back the tea, thinking what was happening in the name of heaven. Because I got nothing. Zip. Nada.

I choked back the tea, thinking what was happening in the name of heaven. Because I got nothing. Zip. Nada,” the woman wrote.
At that moment, tears started rolling down her face and mascara drops stained her skirt while her brother and her aunts had a hard time hiding the smirk on their faces.
“‘How on earth could my mom have done this to me?‘ I thought, wiping my nose with the face of my hand. And then, as a classic overthinker, I began to wonder whether I cared enough for her during those final months,” the poor woman kept wondering.
Next, she could see the lawyer approaching her and handing her an envelope.
When she opened it, the woman saw an address written on a piece of paper. She had no idea what was going on.
At first, she thought it could be a location to a storage her mom wanted her to clear out. The lawyer, for one, stayed tight-lipped. He only reminded the the woman that she was the person her mom loved the most.
When she got to the address, the woman realized that her mom left her a gem of a home. The house in front of her was so beautiful it resembled one from a fairytale. Even the woman’s favorite flowers were planted in the yard.
“It turns out my mom knew all about how my brother and aunts were the biggest money drains. But she wanted me to have a place to build a future and a family. To make new memories in a place that clearly has her spirit,” the woman continued her story.
Another letter on the kitchen table in this new home explained that the mom left the money to her son and her sister fully aware they would waste it the moment they put their hands on it, but she wanted to teach them the value of family, which would likely come as a lesson once they spent all the money they inherited.
“But now, I’m standing in my new kitchen, drinking coffee from the coffee machine I always wanted, and I realize that mom’s love was never in the money — no. It was in this home, and I knew that this gift would be more valuable to me than anything else.
“Hey, Mom? You still know the best.”

4 times Taylor Swift went makeup-free and looked flawless
Swifties, her devoted fan group, are well-known for her gorgeous makeup appearances in addition to her musical prowess and amorous exploits. Ever before her breakout single “Tim McGraw” reached the top of the Billboard charts in 2006, the singer has dabbled in a range of cosmetic appearances. In addition to lengthy lashes, Swift has also dabbled in pink tones, blue eyeliner, dark, smokey eyes, and cat eyes that are “sharp enough to kill a man.” Not to mention how flawlessly she’s worn every red lipstick. Have you ever pondered, though, how Taylor Swift looked by herself?
The star has openly admitted to have the reasonable but unwanted tendency of forgetting to remove her makeup, despite her appearing flawless beauty. In 2011, Swift told Allure, “I don’t always remember to remove my makeup. Alright, pretty much all the time.” The pop queen, though, appears just as stunning without makeup as she does when taking the stage at her sold-out gigs and appearing on TV.
paired with a grin
On January 22, 2019, Taylor Swift shared a carefree selfie wearing a denim jacket, lovely dirty blonde hair brushed to the side, and minimal makeup. She put a smile next to her “Cats” character, Bombalurina, with the proper hashtag, “Meow,” in the caption of the picture. Even without makeup, the celebrity had gorgeous eyes, full lips, and clear skin. With raised eyebrows and a slightly menacing appearance, this selfie radiates a dynamic feeling, which is enhanced by the absence of cosmetics.
Still, what can we say? You really are lovely.
On October 24, 2022, Taylor Swift demonstrated that makeup is not required to take a depressing photo, especially when she was announcing the release of her most current album. The musician, dressed in fairytale-inspired clothing, looked stunning without makeup, gazing off into the distance with her hair styled in a braided bun. The ad image’s description went on, “Midnight, such a famous and storied hour… This sparkling evening, I’ll be offering my personal interpretation of a well-known fable. Given the success of her “Midnights” album, this picture not only demonstrated Swift’s natural beauty but also her inner and outer brilliance.
True Swifties all know that Taylor Swift loves to look nice in sweaters, or should we say, cardigans. On October 24, 2018, the artist disclosed her love for turtlenecks—possibly more than her taste in makeup. The music diva flaunted her famous blond bangs and gorgeous blue eyes in a photo she took while sporting a black, form-fitting turtleneck. The post’s description joked, “Here we can observe an Australian swiftlet in her natural habitat, a turtleneck.” The subsequent images in the post showcase Swift experimenting in a natural Australian location, contributing to the grounded and organic vibe of the selfie.
Never go out of style
During the COVID-19 lockdowns, almost all active social media users posted at least one picture of themselves taken at home without makeup and captioned it with something about how bored they were. Following the trend, Taylor Swift shared a stunning makeup-free selfie on Instagram on April 27, 2020. She added, “Not a lot going on at the moment,” as the caption for the photo, her characteristic blond curls hanging just over her clavicle as she looked straight into the camera. Swift’s caption discussed the lockdown experience, but what really caught viewers off guard—or not—was how beautifully makeup-free Swift appeared.
