Raymond updated his last will and testament.

The overwhelming majority of the trust — tens of millions of dollars — would go to fund an association that cared for wounded veterans and sick and dying military personnel, people whose service had cost them everything and who were too often, at the end, left alone.

A portion was set aside for me, along with the responsibility of administering the whole fund according to his wishes.

And my mother, and Garrett, and Chloe were explicitly and completely cut off from any voluntary benefit of those assets.

He was not vindictive about it.

That is the thing I most want understood.
