My father was a smart man

When my father passed away several years ago, my mother was afraid she would have to go to work to pay the mortgage.  What none of us knew was that my father had mortgage protection on their home.  It not only covered what was owed on the home, but it sure gave my mother peace of mind.  I never quite figured out why Daddy didn’t tell her he had taken this out but maybe he did and Mom just didn’t pay attention.

Far too many times when one person dies, that leaves the burden of paying for the home they shared on the surviving spouse unless they were smart enough to get life insurance for mortgages.    My father taught us girls a lot of things and covering our rears with plenty of life insurance was just one of the life lessons he taught us.  I sure miss my Daddy.
