I stared at him.
“The will?”
“Yes,” he said flatly. “The farm. The estate. We need to figure out what happens now.”
I could not believe what I was hearing. His mother had just been buried, and all he cared about was money. I wanted to say something. I wanted to tell him how disgusted I was. But I was too tired, too broken.
“Not today, Dennis,” I said quietly.
He frowned.
“Dad, we cannot avoid this forever.”
“Not today,” I said.
He sighed, then turned and walked away without another word.
I watched him leave. I watched my only son walk out of that church without looking back.
And I realized something in that moment.
I had lost more than just my wife.
