I hate to admit it but I am one of those nephews who spend lots of time with her. Myself and the other five nieces and nephews are all fighting for her attention and approval and we spend lots of time helping her out. Yes, we love her because she is family but I wonder if she was not wealthy and working on her will, if anyone of us would spend so much time with her and try to be so nice and helpful.
Do you know anyone who is in this situation? It would be easy to be politically correct and say all six of us should be ashamed of ourselves but......

Yes, an uncle from the old country left me fifty thousand gherkins. Seriously, though..........
In your case, I hope you all are doing it because you love her, that the money doesn't matter, and if she decides to leave everything to Radio Free Europe, you won't be too upset.
