Without turning Thomas into one either.
Facts were painful enough.
No embellishment was needed.
PART 26
Noah cried when I gave him a copy of Mark’s letter written specifically
for him.
I did not read it.
That belonged to Noah.
He held it for several minutes before opening it.
Then he asked:
“Did he know what I looked like?”
“Yes.”
I showed him a photograph from Mark’s phone.
Mark had saved a picture Rebecca sent.
He had looked at it every day during his final weeks.
PART 27
Rebecca contacted me the following morning.
She was furious.
“You had no right to meet my son without me.”
“He wanted to meet me.”
“You think because Mark left him money you control him now?”
“No.”
That was the difference she did not understand.
I did not want control.
Neither did the independent trustee Mark selected.
The money was for Noah.
Not me.
