Woman kicks husband out over little income, later learns he died, leaving her $100,000 – Story of the Day.

Catherine and Mike’s marriage became strained due to Mike’s laziness and immaturity. Catherine hoped the birth of their son, Andy, would inspire Mike to change, but he continued staying out late with friends and lacked ambition. Frustrated, Catherine eventually left him.

Though Mike wanted to improve, he found it difficult to change his habits. After another failed promise, Catherine left him a note, expressing her disappointment and taking Andy with her. Devastated, Mike realized too late that he needed to change.

A year later, Catherine, now living with her parents, received a call from Mike’s mother, Mary, informing her of Mike’s death. To Catherine’s surprise, Mike had worked tirelessly after she left, leaving $100,000 for her and Andy, hoping to redeem himself and win them back.
