"The truth of the matter is that she was right -- he would have stopped looking for a home, he would have worried himself sick about what was coming down the road. What she failed to see, however, was that no house, no inheritance, could ever make up the loss of her in my life"
....Wait, I just read that entire story and you took his comments WAAAAAAAAAAAAY out of context. He never said her dying so he could get the house was right. He said that she was right ( as in correct in that situation) that the father would never buy the house if he knew about her cancer, he even continues to say that she was WRONG and that his mother took herself away from them for the house.
Oh, and the charming individual who called the mother stupid on your blog is nice.
