Dear Drew,

Christmas this year is going to be the best yet. I was stressing over what Santa could afford to get Jessica for Christmas. Even with all the extra hours I’ve been working, there isn’t much left over after groceries and bills and school supplies and clothes and…well, you get the picture. But a wonderful and amazing thing came out of the sadness of late.

A lawyer contacted me a few weeks after Aunt Barbara died. She had a will drawn up, leaving everything to me and Jessica. Her house, her car (I have a reason to get my driver’s license!), her savings…Everything!
