What Makes A Nephew ... Special

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 

If a nephew
flies 5000 miles
then
drives 500 miles
to enable a
Priest and his sister
 to stand in front
of the home
their brother purchased
forty years before
this picture
was taken,
the nephew
can be considered
"special"
 
The 
aforementioned 
brother
is my father
and the priest 
is 
Father Frank
with his sister,
my beloved
Aunt Esther
+
the nephew is 
me
 
The special gift
I received 
was first access to
Father Frank's
will
—written in 2008— 
 
In which
it was clearly stated
that 
"everything"
was 
to be shared by
his nieces 
and nephews
 
 [There was ten of us] 
 
Father Frank died 
in 2012
 
The executors
of the will
were Aunt Esther
and her eldest daughter
 
The latter
mistakenly interpreted
"Executor"
to mean
  "Beneficiary"
thus
    her and her sister
—after Esther's death—
inherited everything
including
the sale price
of the former home
of my 
paternal grandparents
 
 
In  2026,
that home is valued at
$1.2 million dollars
presently valued
at
 
  😕😕😕

Everything stated above 
is factual
but 
it behooves me  
to add two things:
 
1.
The photograph
was taken
200 yards from
the beatific
North Shore Beach
of Rocky Point 
 
 2.
Thankfully,
none of the Oliverio
nieces/nephews
are living at 
poverty level 
but
only one of us
can afford to live
at a yacht club

  1. A law school in Florida surveyed the types of wills most likely to be contested: those written by Catholic Priests rated the highest.
