Instead of demanding payment, Ms Greaves explained that Bram was an incredibly disciplined saver who had opened a restricted education trust in my name eighteen years ago. He had intentionally chosen a life of quiet sacrifice and skipped meals to ensure my future was secure. She handed me a letter from him where he apologized for denying me material things but explained he wanted to guarantee I could afford to become a social worker.
He left me a fully paid house and a massive scholarship that covered my tuition, housing, and living expenses at any state university. Days later I was accepted into a top social work program, ready to honor the breathtaking sacrifices my hero made for me.
