Following the death of Nexhmije Hoxha, a letter was published in the portals about one of the boys, Illyrian and his wife. In the letter, the ex-Communist leader's wife points out that there is no material, property or money in her will but only "motherly blessings." In the letter, Nexhmije Hoxha spoke with anger and compassion for the other boy, Sokolin, who she said "had the bad luck of being associated with a wicked woman". Hoxha referred to her daughter-in-law, Liliana Hoxha, as "a nervous woman".

Nexhmije Hoxha's Testament Unleashed: Blessings for One of the Boys

"Dear my sons, Ilir and Teuta,

Rejoice and bless my life-long blessing! Blessing seems to be a religious attribute, given by a god or a saint. Not! I don't know god. My God is conscience, kindness, love, honesty, truth, beauty in man, companionship and nature. I am not holy, my blessing is the "mother's blessing", the most sincere and pure blessing, out of the heart with all the heart. Happy who wins! This "blessing" is not a wealth of money and gold, in material possessions and goods, but it is an invaluable spiritual asset that one obtains with respect, love, wisdom, and kindness to one who has brought it to life and to them. who have grown and helped him become a "man".

Having a mother's blessing and the respect of all those you have supported along the way of life makes you live in peace, in peace with your conscience, loving and happy in the family, honored in society.

It was especially you, Illyria with Teuta and your children, and Spring with her, that made my life livable, with the special care and warm love that surrounded me in the great solitude that Enver left me. That's why you deserve the "mother's blessing."

While praising one of the boys, Najmiya does not forget to compare their life choices:

"Time showed that you, Ilir, had made a good choice for your life companion. That woman can make you happy, she can even take your life. Such an example happened to my other son, Sokol, for the misfortune of he and our family got in touch with a woman not only sick of the nerves but sick of the head and wicked of the soul. of the political climate in the country came in the wake of recent political and moral degradation.

Being in prison, no one has written me letters as sneaky as her. It is not worth letting go of its folly ... All this caused me deep pain, but I did not let myself be defeated, for I had other obligations, political and human, to publicly protect Enver from the filthy campaign of the anti-communists, ballists of the whole Scotch collaborators with the Nazi fascists, who have never ceased to discredit Enver Hoxha's name and image and will not cease to distort the 50-year history of popular power and socialist society under his leadership.

The pain and regret for this kind of attitude is great, but in my consciousness I have been calm, that at no time, as in childhood, youth and later, I loved Sokol the same as Illyrian and Spring, it is absurd to think and say, why I could have loved her less (!!!), why ?I have never been a mother to her (!!!). On the contrary, I took care of her and stayed closer, because I was sorry that she had a poor health (so we judged when this "bride" bride soft gentle, smiling or when her sudden "weaknesses" made us t 'put them on the bed or send them to Paris). My perennial diary as well as our correspondence with dozens and dozens of letters speaks of affective, normal relationships with Sokol, as a mother and son, and even with his wife, "she continued.

Liliana Hoxha, wife of Sokol Hoxha, one of the sons of the former dictator, has come out against Nexhmije Hoxha publicly not many times. In some of her interviews, she has even made bold statements, accusing Najmiya of being one of Enver Hoxha's own killers.
