After my frugal mother died, I opened the locket she’d worn for 15 years—always sealed shut. Inside wasn’t a photo, but a microSD card and a note warning me to be careful.
Police discovered it held a Bitcoin wallet from 2010, given to her by a man she once helped. She never used it, saving it for the future.
That forgotten key had become a fortune—enough to pay for my daughter’s hearing surgery.
My mom had lived with nothing so her granddaughter could hear everything.
