If my father had life insurance ... -
When my mother told me that I look like my father, it is a rapid realization of what he left behind . You see, my father was struck by a semi-when merging on a highway truck; her fish tail truck in the rain and he lost control
The day he died, distant relatives began arriving home. they received the devastating news before me. Everyone was silent for a while, hoping to leave a 12 year old boy, enjoying life as he knew her for a few moments. My aunt finally told me when the tears kept rolling and the truth could not be hidden any longer. Suddenly my world was turned upside down. I knew from that moment on my life will never be the same.
My father was in his mid-40s when he died and had certainly not expected it to be so soon. At the time, he owned a business, paying a mortgage on their first home and was raising a family. From the beginning, people feel as if they should not take death in their equation of life, but death comes unexpectedly, sometimes sooner rather than later. It is not something to fear to the point of negligence, but rather something to plan accordingly.
After feeling as if we were lost at sea without hope, my mother finally found a job as a civilian at Camp Pen dleton Marine Corps in San Diego. But it meant that we had to go-with no friends, family or father. Being away from my grandparents, my mother had to register me and my sister in a program after school while she worked long hours to keep a roof over our heads and food in our stomachs .

Emotionally, we won and were able to accept this unjust reality. Financially, the death of my father still haunts us 12 years later. After high school, I was accepted at the University of Fresno State, but had to turn down because of financial instability. I started working full time as a front desk clerk. I quickly realized how difficult it is to get a degree without promoting college, so I'm determined to find a way back to the university.
I am able to get financial assistance for low-income students, and found a new restoration work that worked with my schedule. This allowed me to get back on my path to success, the balance between education for myself and a part-time job to help my family.
If my father had life insurance, we were able to pay off our house, instead of being life-long renters. If my father had life insurance, I graduated college now, instead of jumping through hoops to make ends meet. We can not predict our dead, but we can predict our financial well-being family after we left. If you take something from the story of my life, whether the importance of the future of your family and life insurance provides financial security.
