But with the inheritance came responsibilities. Mr. Cohen explained that a trust would be established for the twins, with funds allocated for education and living expenses. There would be stipulations to ensure the money was used wisely, and he made it clear that Ms. Masters’ estate would provide ongoing support and guidance.

The weight of it all was immense. Yet, at the heart of it, there was a profound sense of gratitude. We had been given the chance to love and nurture Gabriel and Grace, and now, we could secure their future in ways we had never imagined.

As we left Mr. Cohen’s office, I felt a renewed sense of purpose. It wasn’t just about the money; it was about honoring the trust Ms. Masters had placed in us, and continuing to be the family Gabriel and Grace deserved.
