The things we leave behind (updated rerun)

About this episode

This week, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes, plus a new update and your surprising reactions.


While sorting through her father’s belongings after his death, Amanda Petteruti came across a collection of locked toolboxes. What she discovered inside made her rethink what she knew about her family’s finances and left her with unsettling questions about her dad: Why had he spent so much money on this secret hobby? Why was it now Amanda’s burden to handle? And how do you find closure with someone once they’re gone?
