My sons severed all ties with me once I enrolled in university using the family inheritance pot.
I was devastated and proud at the same time on graduation day, but everything changed when I got home and saw what I had never seen before.
While enjoying my favourite spot and activity, reading on the sofa, I cast a sidelong glance at my visiting lads, Ryan and James, who were seated and watching television. Their gazes darted between one another and me, seeming nervous. The stillness persisted until it became unbearable for me.
I eventually worked up the guts to declare, in a firm voice, “I’ve decided to enrol at the university,” something that had been on my mind and heart for months. “I’m using most of the family inheritance savings to pay for it.”
