Hi Line: An insightful poem. My folks had nothing to leave but I loved them.

That is such a blessing. My folks had six kids and no money. We learned to appreciate what we had and work for what we earned.

Hello Line … it's the time of entitlement Line, and it certainly gives heartbreak as well as disputes in families. Greed; horrible - thank you Line - Lindsay

I totally agree with you, Lindsay. It certainly is a shame.

I cannot relate, hoping my mother will live another thirty or forty years; she is only 88 years young.

And I hope you never even hear of such stories, Caren. It seems to be a new trend.

Yes, I can understand it! I had little money and never had any expectations from my folks. Just love love love!

I'm with you, Kim. I am so very glad there is no money in our family.

greed is a green eyed monster when my grandfather passed some of his children ransacked his home while his widow was grieving on the couch I completely understand this anger. That happened to me 38 years ago and it still makes me upset

Nicely written, Line. There is so much greed and evil in the world, all they want is what they can get in their hands. I've seen it to much and it has split families apart.

Awful when it's family.
