Mom put the letter in her apron and continued to clean the room. All day long, as she did her tasks about the house, she thought of the letter. It tugged at her like somebody is tempted by a bar of fine Swiss chocolate. But for every thought she had about opening the letter that little critter called conscience would tell her that doing so was wrong, wrong, wrong!

Finally she could take it no more. She sat down at the kitchen table and carefully slipped the contents onto the table. It was a letter and a key. She memorized how the letter was folded and where the key was placed so she could return them to their original position.

Carefully, with her breath held and her heart pumping wildly, she opened the letter and started to read.

Dear Tom
I have very little time left as I have been diagnosed with terminal cancer. You haven't known this, but your father saved my life when we were soldiers in Vietnam. We were under terrific enemy fire and I was struck in the thigh and shoulder with two bullets. I though I was going to die and suddenly strong hands picked me up and I was thrown across the shoulders of somebody. Without breaking stride he started to run out of the field of fire. He was struck two times himself in the side and arm but he never dropped me. After what seemed like hours he finally laid me on the ground and yelled for a corpman. The rest was blurred as I had lost so much blood I was unaware of what had occurred. It has taken me until last week to find out who this person was, and I have been told that your dad died. I am so sorry. I live in Texas now and am the president of a very large software company called Texas Instruments. Since starting the company, I have kept half of my stock for myself, and the other half for whoever saved my life.

This letter is to inform you that because of your dad's heroism in saving my life, you and your mother are the owners of this stock, which at today's market share amounts to $883,000,000. I am flying out there next Wednesday to surprise your mother with this news. Please do not tell her about this. I am writing you this information to make sure that she is available to meet with me at the Hilton Hotel on Elm Street at 7pm next Wednesday night. If you are not available let me know at the email address below. Otherwise, meet me in the conference room for a little ceremony. You are about to become one of the wealthiest families in the United States and my friend. I will see you soon.

Bob Smith
President and CEO
Texas Instruments

Tom's mom caught the edge of the table to steady herself. She felt so dizzy she thought she would fall over on the floor. In her wildest dreams she had never heard this story and knew nothing of the act of heroism that her husband performed.

She carefully replaced the letter and the key and put the letter back where she had found it. She hoped... oh how she hoped that she could listen to the news of the letter without giving anything away that she had already read it. And now she was ashamed that she had given in to her desire to know the contents of a letter that was addressed to somebody else. She would never do that again.
