He Chose Money Over Love, but Justice Came Knocking When My Wealthy Father Passed Away
Sarah, 37, wrote us a beautiful letter, beginning with a heartbreaking tale. She explained that her father had lately passed away, leaving her in deep sadness. Their closeness was exceptional, especially given that he had raised Sarah on his own after her mother died tragically when Sarah was a youngster.
Sarah said that her father was a highly talented lawyer, well-known in legal circles and beyond. His courtroom skills were legendary, gaining him great acclaim and affection. He was often referred to as “a wizard” or “a genius” by his peers, and he had an amazing capacity to obtain victory in cases that even the most seasoned professionals thought were impossible. Many people looked up to him as a mentor, gaining significant lessons from his experience and finesse…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
Given his exceptional skill, it’s unsurprising that Sarah’s father amassed considerable wealth. With a net worth nearing a billion dollars, he held ownership of multiple prominent law firms, extensive property holdings, and a luxurious collection of cars.

Sarah’s father taught in her a different perspective on money and luxury.
As a single father, Sarah’s father dedicated himself to imparting his core principles in his daughter. One important lesson was his financial attitude. Sarah recalled how he had taught her the value of modesty and frugality. Despite their riches, she grew up recognizing the importance of not flaunting their privileged status.
Sarah confessed, “I went to a regular school and eventually enrolled in a law school, all without my father’s intervention. He wouldn’t even assist me prepare for my entrance examinations, urging that I follow in his footsteps and work my way up from the bottom without skipping any steps.”
Sarah’s father was overjoyed with her accomplishments after she graduated with honors and was hired by a small law firm. Despite having the resources to offer her a position at one of his larger enterprises, he flatly declined, underlining the necessity of her establishing her own route to success.
Sarah added, “Even though my father was a very well-known figure, I never appeared in the media with him.” His flawless reputation and talent were his alone, and I never disagreed. I understand his rationale. He wanted to make sure that after he was gone, my future depended on me, not his legacy or fortune.”

Despite reservations about her partner, Sarah’s father chose not to interfere in their relationship.
As Sarah began seeing Bradd, a fellow university student, her father was skeptical. In their first meeting, he bombarded Bradd with questions, perceiving a mismatch in what he dubbed his “personal check.”
Sarah remembers, “My father always told me that Bradd was a lazy, entitled man who was drawn to my father’s reputation and fortune from the beginning. But I chalked it up to my father’s protective personality, which I appreciated but did not give much thought to his fears regarding Bradd.
Bradd, for his part, never broached any topics related to money when conversing with Sarah, further convincing her of his pure intentions. They tied the knot a year before her father’s passing, and their marriage appeared blissful both personally and professionally, as they both pursued their careers with zeal and enjoyment.

After Sarah’s father passed away, unexpected events unfolded, taking everyone by surprise.

Sarah became overwhelmed by enormous sorrow after her father’s loss. Nonetheless, she was surprised by Bradd’s demeanor in such hard circumstances. Her memory was this: “Instead of offering comfort and support during my overwhelming sorrow, Bradd immediately broached the subject of my inheritance, asking about the extent of my expected wealth after my father’s demise.”
This question sh0cked her, bringing back thoughts of her father’s concerns about Bradd’s actual motives and how he was only interested in her for her father’s money.
Sarah disclosed, “When he asked about my inheritance, my expression must have betrayed my surprise. I responded, ’What inheritance? I won’t receive a dime from my dad. I’m not even mentioned in his will.’”
Bradd brushed it off as a joke or a result of her distress after the funeral, assuming she was talking nonsensically. Sarah countered, “There’s no inheritance for me because I’m not my dad’s biological daughter. I was adopted a year before my mom’s death, and although my dad raised me as his own, he never intended to include me in his will. I’ve known this my entire life.”
Bradd vanished as soon as he heard the “bad news” Sarah had for him.

In Sarah’s ongoing story, she reveals that Bradd filed for divorce less than a month after she discovered she did not inherit from her father. Sarah then scheduled a meeting with Bradd, which was facilitated by a family acquaintance who had previously worked with her father’s business.
At the dinner, Sarah’s father’s partner revealed her father’s will to Bradd. It contained a stipulation indicating that if Bradd remained married to Sarah for five years after her father passed away, he would be entitled to half of the inheritance, while Sarah would receive the other half. However, in the case of a divorce, Sarah was named as the only beneficiary of her father’s entire fortune and assets.
In her concluding words, Sarah expressed her contentment, remarking, “It was immensely gratifying to witness my ex’s sh*cked reaction. His face turned pale, then red, then pale again. He was left speechless, like a fish gasping for air out of water. I felt that my father’s plan had been fully realized, and he could finally rest in peace, knowing that I was thriving without that ’lazy, spoiled kid’ in my life.”

Mother left everyone in disbelief after they heard her excuse why she left her baby alone with pit bull only for the dog to chew on the child’s hands and leave her without 5 fingers!
Ellis Artist of Clayton, West Yorkshire was living a normal, 6-year-old life when everything went downhill.
One night, Ellis woke up in pain and screaming to his parents, 37-year-old Paul Artist and 34-year-old Sarah Girdwood.
His head and neck were in tremendous pain and he began to vomit profusely.
This all happened after a minor illness, which he seems to recover quickly from earlier that day.
Ellis’ parents rushed him to a nearby hospital, and a rash started to develop.
First, doctors thought it was meningitis, but antibiotics didn’t help and Ellis was mumbling and moaning in his sleep, unable to wake up…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
Doctors then performed an MRI scan.
The resulting diagnosis was shocking and horrifying: acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, or ADEM.
This extremely rare condition causes brain swelling, and Ellis now has repeated seizures as a result.
ADEM is a little-understood disease that can begin from even a small infection.
It causes negative reactions to the white matter of the brain, which then affects the body’s immune system.
The result is a severe allergic reaction that involves attacking the immune system and the eroding of nerves’ protective layers.
This condition tends to affect different people in different ways, meaning it is usually impossible for doctors to provide an accurate prognosis – as is the case with Ellis.
75% of those who develop AEDM are able to recover fully, but the remainder may develop significant impairments and disabilities as a result. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
It is unsure whether Ellis will recover, how severe his condition is, or if he will have any long-term effects from it.
After the AEDM diagnosis, Ellis was placed in a medically-induced coma and rushed to the Leeds General Infirmary.
A week later, another scan revealed that the swelling was no longer just in Ellis’ brain – it was beginning to make its way down his spine.
He was also having mini-seizures due to the brain swelling. But it’s not all bad news – after a while of being on a ventilator, Ellis is able to breathe on his own again.
The Sick Children’s Trust has put up Ellis’ family, including his three brothers, the youngest of which still doesn’t know what is really happening to Ellis.
Ellis, meanwhile, is still in a coma with his parents by his bedside as he receives the 24/7 care that he needs.
It is still unknown whether Ellis will recover fully or not, but doctors are doing everything they can to provide information to his worried family.
It’s expected that Ellis will be at the hospital for at least a couple of months, and will then need constant care at home once he is able to leave.
In order to ease the financial strain, family and friends, as well as Ellis’ school Clayton St John CE Primary School, have been working hard to raise funds for the family.
Ellis is a strong, tough boy and everyone is rooting for him and hoping for his recovery.
A fundraiser for the family with a £5,000 target goal has been set up, and around 92% of funds have been raised at the time of writing.
If you’d like to donate to the cause, you can do so at their JustGiving page.
Losing a child can be a devastating event, no matter what age.It is, however, universally agreed upon that it is worse when the child is lost at such a young age.
Sadly, this sort of early death is expected for some families, due to the circumstances that their child is involved in.
Despite the advancement of modern medicine, there are still plenty of children who suffer from severe health problems from either a young age or even from birth. These children are often predicted to not survive very long.
In a way, their passing can be considered them finally having rest and relief from their life, which has been an uphill battle all the way…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
Most of these children and their families, however, find themselves with plenty to live for.
They fight, they strive, and they try to use everything at their disposal to push forward and see another day.
Alas, this is a war, and sometimes, the inevitable happens.
In the case of North Carolinian Chelsea Banton, she wasn’t expected to see her third day.
A premature baby born five weeks early, Chelsea had a major problem – she had to deal with excessive fluids creating pressure against her brain.
The doctors gave her at most 36 hours to live.
However, the baby girl would defy all odds, and would live to grow up.
Her life, however, did not get any easier after that first major hurdle.
The girl would spend the following 14 years of her short life fighting against one health problem after another.
Infections, life-threatening viruses, fluid retention, shunt revisions, hydrocephalus – you named it, she suffered it at some point.
In the fall of 2008, Chelsea was struck by yet another round of advanced pneumonia, which had developed from a bad cold she caught. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
This latest bout of illness seemed to be the last one she could handle – the girl was forced to stay in the hospital for seven weeks, completely dependant on life support.
It was at this point that Colleen Banton, her mother, was forced to make a heartbreaking decision.
In the interest of not prolonging her daughter’s suffering, she opted to keep the ventilator off the next time her daughter was strong enough to breathe on her own.
It was essentially plugging the plug for the girl – by this point, Colleen had decided that should her daughter’s time had come, then there was no use in delaying the inevitable.
While praying with friends and family who had come out to support this mother, Colleen was suddenly called over to a nearby monitor by the pediatrician nurse.
There, her attention was directed to the bright light that had appeared in front of the door to the pediatrician unit.
Astonished, Colleen took a quick photo of it with her camera, then went to check this strange light in person.
Oddly enough, it wasn’t there physically.
A miracle occurred shortly thereafter – three days later, Chelsea was well enough to return home once again.
Colleen is convinced that the figure was an angel who helped her daughter.
Chelsea would then go on to live for another 7 more years before passing away in 2015, at the age of 21.
Her story is one for the ages!
