That's Life - What price love?

Someone we know had a relationship with a woman. I don't know what the reasons were, but they decided to end it.

A few months later, some obscure aunt dies and she inherits ten million dollars.

He gets an email from her, from some exotic place where she's on vacation. She tells him she was looking up at the stars and thinking of him and of how good he had been to her. She tells him she is reliving their happy times in her mind. She tells him she was thinking how she'd like to somehow tell him, show him, how important his love and kindness had been to her.

"I thought maybe I should send you $100,000" she wrote, "but then I realized -
that would just cheapen what we had."
