Gary and I are working on getting some life insurance put into place. Even at a time when money is tight I will find a way to squeeze $100 a month out of our budget to pay for a little piece of mind. Our next step is to speak to the lawyer to get everything put into a living trust. That way we can both make sure that our money hungry exes have no claim or say regarding any money that is left to the kids. Lord knows that my ex would instantly claim Zach's and blow it on car parts for a car that he is probably going to blow the motor on 2 or make that 3 times!!
We had the guys out today for the last part of the application and signing. When we were going over everything we confirmed the needs for the insurance and what we were looking to pay off and supplement if something happened to him or I in an untimely manner. Which brings me to the interesting question, he asked me what I would need if something happened to him. Besides the obvious being money to pay off the house and vehicles, for a minute I thought about what that would look like and in a moment the last 3 years flashed before me and what it would be like to not have him in my life. So what else would I need...probably a padded room since I wouldn't even know how it would be to function without him next to me. I know, I know this sounds so ridiculous and corny, just as I am typing it I think "Come on!" but it is absolutely true.
Things like this just make you think of what you are preparing yourself for, and make sure you pray to God that it never happens.
